Paris Institute for Advanced Study

The Paris Institute for Advanced Study (Paris IAS, or Institut d'études avancées de Paris) is an international research center that offers fellowships to researchers from all over the world in the field of humanities and social sciences. It is also open to other disciplines, in particular the life sciences, for projects in dialogue with the humanities and social sciences. The institute was designed to foster high level research, international and interdisciplinary exchanges and the development of new methods and research objects. The Paris IAS hosts yearly an average of sixty researchers for stays of five to ten months.

Since 2018, the Institute is headed by Saadi Lahlou, statistician, economist, professor of social psychology at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), and member of the French Academy of Technologies and the Academia Europaea. Sociologist Dominique Schnapper chaired the Board of Directors for two terms and was replaced on June 29, 2022, by Bettina Laville [archive], Honorary State Councilor and founder and honorary president of Comité 21.

The Paris IAS is a member of the French network of Institutes for Advanced Study (RFIEA) and the European network of Institutes for Advanced Studies (NetIAS).
