While any research institute must focus its work on certain particular frontiers on which it hopes to make a difference, ARI has also kept its doors open to talented people, exciting ideas and worthwhile projects across the whole spectrum of the social sciences.  Many of our most exciting visitors have been in what we call the 'open' cluster, to ensure this openness to ideas remains.

Applications are welcomed in any field, and especially for projects that are innovative and interdisciplinary.
