Former Fellows
The Institute for Advanced Study of Nantes welcomed its first cohort of resident researchers in January 2009. However, the foundation-structured Institute was preceded by an Advanced Studies Program that, since 2005, invited numerous scientific figures to Nantes for stays ranging from a few days to several months.

The IAS-Nantes’ core mission shows in the invitation of researchers, selected for the quality and originality of their work, and that are chosen as a group to constitute the yearly intake of Fellows hosted at the Institute.
However, not only researchers are hosted at the Institute. Every year, IAS-Nantes invites one or two artists (musician, plastic artists, writers or film directors) to join the group.
A Range of Personalized Services
Resident researchers can find personalized support at the Institute, taking into account their constraints and needs from the initial stages of preparing their stay. Once on-site, they are assisted with administrative procedures (residence permits, opening bank accounts, etc.).
A language assistance service is provided to facilitate exchanges between Anglophones and Francophones during seminars and conferences. Document resources are sourced through ILL (Interlibrary Loan) and made available by the Julien Gracq Library.
Computing configuration and support are provided. In the face of daily concerns, whether technical or administrative, residents can seek help by approaching the Institute’s reception.
Professional travel is also supported by logistical assistance if needed.
Architecture Tailored to the Pace of Research
The Institute is housed in an exceptional building, situated on the banks of the Loire and specifically designed to meet its needs. Residents can find around twenty equipped individual offices, as well as a documentary resources center, a lounge-dining area on the loggia, a terrace garden, an amphitheater, and various meeting spaces.
Additionally, the Institute has around twenty furnished and equipped accommodations (ranging from studios to T4 apartments) to accommodate resident researchers, taking into account the size of their families. Located in a building adjacent to that of the IEA, these apartments allow researchers to come and go at any time of day or night.
At the heart of the city
Although located on the banks of the Loire and entirely shielded from traffic noise, the Institute is nonetheless at the heart of the city. Situated a 5-minute walk from the SNCF train station connecting to Paris in 2 hours, it is also in close proximity to the city center, encouraging exploration of the city through leisurely strolls. Cultural and scientific events in Nantes and the region are made known to residents. Conversely, the Institute opens its doors to the people of Nantes, who can notably benefit from conferences and meetings organized throughout the year.
