ADVANCED SCHOOLS

The Institute hosts five short-term Schools annually under the auspices of the Victor Rothschild Memorial Symposia. They are in the fields of Theoretical Physics, Life Sciences, Economic Theory, Jewish Studies and Comparative Religion, and Mathematics.
Each School is headed by an internationally preeminent scholar, working alongside an Israeli codirector. At present, three of the five Schools are directed by Nobel laureates. Senior scholars and capable young students (doctoral and postdoctoral students from Israel and abroad) create an exciting intellectual synergy for the approximately seven to twelve days the short-term School is in session.The Institute subsidizes participants in the form of travel grants, tuition or hotel expenses. The Israeli coordinator, in coordination with IAS staff, allocates scholarships to candidates and assumes responsibility for technical arrangements. Scholars and students have come to the IAS from Western and Eastern Europe, South and North America, China, India, Japan, Korea, the Philippines and North Africa. Time is set aside to experience the city of Jerusalem, one of the most timeless and beautiful cities in the world.
