The NIAS-Lorentz Theme Group (NLTG) members work together at NIAS as a team on a research topic that bridges the Humanities and/or Social Sciences with the Natural Sciences and/or Technology. This international group of researchers can be made up of either: a) three researchers for five consecutive months or b) five researchers for three consecutive months during either the first or second semester.
All NLTG members hold fellowships at NIAS giving them the opportunity to engage in the kind of intensive interdisciplinary collaboration that is often difficult to realize in a normal university setting. This can lead to concrete outcomes such as an edited volume, a scientific paper or a project proposal for external funding (e.g. ERC).
