The Institute of Advanced Sciences (IAS) and Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences (IMS) bring together many researchers from overseas, aiming to build knowledge linkages from a global perspective. In this section, we use an interview-style format to explore what life as a researcher at the IAS or the IMS is really like for these overseas researchers, who have diverse backgrounds in terms of not only their areas of specialist expertise and their research fields, but also their nationality and research careers, and we introduce the measures being taken to foster international linkages at the IAS and the IMS, and what makes these institutes appealing to foreign researchers.
Note: This article was planned jointly by the IAS and the IMS, and the same content is being displayed on their respective websites.
