Staying at the Paris IAS

Legal status and compensation

Following the compensation model often adopted by institutes for advanced studies, the Paris IAS offers its fellows a compensation to cover the extra costs related to their stay in France. The proposed compensation varies depending on the Call for Applications and the Research Program.

When applications are selected, the Institute’s Secretary General contacts the successful applicants to give information on the legal, administrative, and financial aspects of their stay and to define the contractual terms based on the general conditions laid out in the Call for Applications.
