Since its inception in 2004, the Institute of Advanced Studies (IAS) has brought people together to explore interdisciplinary research that tackles today’s global challenges. Each year, international scholars, artists, entrepreneurs and public servants visit Surrey as IAS Fellows or to attend workshops, to focus on pioneering research in science, engineering, social science and the humanities. These events and visits have resulted in many research grants, new collaborations, journal articles and books, as well as many happy memories of their time in Surrey. We thank the University of Surrey for its continued support in helping us build a richer research culture with scholars from around the world.
