Website/Application LinkSTIAS provides and maintains an independent ‘creative space for the mind’ to advance scientific inquiry and engaged scholarship across all disciplines. The Institute is global in its reach and local in its African roots, and values original thinking and innovation in this context. The Fellowship programme comprises projects which are entirely self-generated and proposed by applicants, as well as projects or programmes initiated and led by STIAS typically with select partner organisations. A prospective STIAS Fellow may apply either individually, or as part of a team, or as an Iso Lomso early career scholar, or as an artist-in-residence. The STIAS terms run from mid-January to mid-June (first semester), and from mid-July to mid-December (second semester). The Fellowship programme is guided by the Institute’s commitment to being a creative space for the mind, an inter/cross generation space as well as a cross-disciplinary space that encourages cross-pollination of ideas and hence gives preference to projects that will tap into, and benefit from, a multi-disciplinary discourse while also contributing unique perspectives to individual, collective and engaged discourses, an opportunity for a Fellow beyond self. STIAS Fellows are, except in prior agreed-to circumstances, expected to be resident at STIAS for the duration of a Fellowship in pursuit of their proposed research project. Read more
