The National Institute of Advanced Studies (NIAS) was conceived and established by the vision and initiative of the late Mr. J.R.D Tata.
He sought to create an institution which would conduct advanced research in multidisciplinary areas, and also serve as a forum that will bring together administrators and managers from industry and government, leaders in public affairs, eminent individuals in different walks of life, and the academic community in the natural and social sciences.
