About DIAS
We offer an extensive programme of highly prestigious lectures and we aim to inspire groundbreaking ideas through the meeting of minds within all disciplines.
DIAS includes chairs and senior fellows from all five faculties at the University of Southern Denmark and a number of external chairs from the University of Copenhagen; extraordinary scholars with impressive curriculum vitaes.
We believe that our DIAS Fellows are the most significant part of our DIAS core; we are proud of them and we have the highest aspirations for our DIAS Fellows.
