>sciences at the University of Edinburgh.

>It seeks to bring about collegial dialogue and to further collaborative 
>research by maintaining a number of Fellowship schemes, by conducting 
>regular programs of Seminars, and by developing overarching Research 
>Themes around which interactions with the local research community are 
>structured.

>Since its foundation more than 650 scholars from 54 countries have held 
>Institute fellowships; on average between 10 and 12 Fellows are in 
>residence at any one time, with larger numbers gathering for central 
>project events.

>of Humanities and Social Science. It is within easy walking distance of 
>the National Library of Scotland, the National Archives of Scotland, the
