The fellowships are intended for postdocs or faculty members of all disciplines, all over the world. Applicants are asked to contribute in expert workshops, discussions and lectures as well as actively engage with the LIAS community. During their stay, all fellows will have an office at Holland College in order to enhance at coffee and lunchbreaks. Within the current LIAS project the focus is mainly on the housing of an ageing population (architecture as well as  geographical planning) in the context of a growing demand of complex care.
