UBIAS CONFERENCES IN 2013
JERUSALEM
In March 2013 the Israel Institute for Advanced Study at Jerusalem hosted an UBIAS Directors’ Meeting, entitled “University-Based Institutes for Advanced Study, Shaping the Future: Navigating in a Changing World” (March 4-6).
This format was suggested to enable regular exchange between UBIAS institutes on a director’s level. The first conference of this kind took place at the Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies (FRIAS), Germany, in 2010 (as founding conference of the UBIAS network).

VANCOUVER
The Peter Wall Institute for Advanced Studies (PWIAS) at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, is organizing an interdisciplinary UBIAS Conference on “Scientific and Academic Knowledge” from September 17-19, 2013 at Vancouver, Canada.
This format was suggested as a valuable instrument for integrating the network and engaging the institutes and their fellows in fruitful scientific dialogue.
