From the Wikipedia article
The Institute of Advanced Study (IAS) is an interdisciplinary research centre of Durham University. The IAS – set up to mark Durham's 175th anniversary – is intended to attract scholars and public figures from across the world to collaborate on 'agenda-setting research'. It is housed in the Grade II* listed Bishop Cosin's Hall, an early 18th century building on Palace Green, Durham, within the Durham UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Institute accepted its first fellows in January 2006 and was formally inaugurated into the university in October that year.

Background
History
The institute was launched in 2006 with a debate between university chancellor Bill Bryson, historian Peter Watson and science journalist Matt Ridley. The topic for the first year was the legacy of Charles Darwin, culminating in a conference titled "What Makes a Racist?", with participants including John Hedley Brooke, Robin Dunbar, John Dupre, Anthony Monaco and Madeleine Bunting. In 2009, the institute's work was showcased in a collection of short essays by experts from across the arts, science and humanities, Thinking About Almost Everything: New Ideas to Light up Minds. The same year, the institute hosted an exhibition of sculptures by Jane Alexander, On Being Human, at Durham…
