• IASH hosts an interdisciplinary gathering of researchers for Landscape-Mindscape: History, Geography and Literature.
• IASH supports the Late Medieval Bible Conference alongside the Centre for the History of the Book, and the British Academy.
• IASH supports a workshop entitled Ancients and Moderns in the Scottish Enlightenment, and alongside the Scottish Centre for Diaspora Studies, a workshop on Nature’s Commerce: Environment and Science in the Scottish Enlightenment.

Charles Withers: “The Institute has, deservedly, the highest international reputation as a centre for humanities research. It has that reputation because it offers a haven for scholarly endeavour, for sustained engagement with one’s research free from the distractions of teaching (and more distracting still, one’s colleagues and administration).”

Jo Clifford: “IASH is a precious island of intelligent, creative, and free discourse. It’s an intellectual community in the very best sense of the word: an amazing and astonishing space to write a play in.”
