2012-13 will see the IAS introduce its Time theme. This theme has been designed to attract scholars from across the disciplines to address an exciting variety of topics (see box out, p. 59).


In its continued work to achieve these aims, the IAS is very appreciative of the support it receives from the Senior officers at Durham University, and from people in Faculties, Departments and Colleges across the institution. Their direct involvement in engaging with the IAS’s annual themes, nominating Fellows, participating in events and generating research ideas is vital to the development of collaborative projects and the production of outputs that support Durham’s research strengths and increase its international outreach. The IAS’s intra-university relationships are central to its activities, and the Institute wishes to highlight the positive contributions made by all of those involved.


The Institute notes in particular the importance of its partnership with the Colleges Division and the support that the Colleges provide in


accommodating its visiting Fellows. Durham’s Colleges have a key role in relation to the IAS’s aims. They create interdisciplinary communities and enable cross-disciplinary conversations and relationships, not only for IAS Fellows and their hosts, but also for students from the moment they come to study in Durham. This early interdisciplinary contact is undoubtedly influential in shaping students’ thinking and in forming a greater potential for interdisciplinary research in their subsequent careers. In this, and in hosting the IAS Fellows, Colleges have a key role in strengthening the social and intellectual links between disciplinary areas, and between Durham researchers and an international network of scholars, The Institute thanks the Deputy Warden and the Colleges Division for this vital support.


Finally, the IAS is extremely grateful for the wise counsel of its distinguished Advisory Council and its members’ ongoing ambassadorial endorsement of the Institute.
