National Institute of Advanced Studies, Bangalore
National Institute of Advanced Studies (NIAS) was conceived and founded in 1988 by the late Mr. J.
R. D. Tata, who sought to create an institution to conduct advanced multidisciplinary research.
Housed in a picturesque green campus in Bangalore the Institute serves as a forum to bring together
individuals from diverse intellectual backgrounds, in the natural and life sciences, humanities, social
sciences, and conflict and security studies. The philosophy underlying NIAS is given shape by its
multidisciplinary research teams. The Institute is unique in its integrated approach to the study of
intersections between science and technology, philosophy, social issues and leadership. The
objective is to nurture a broad base of scholars, managers and leaders who would respond to the
complex challenges that face contemporary India and global society, with insight, sensitivity,
confidence and dedication. For more details: www.nias.res.in
