An additional $112 million in support has been raised over the past four-and-a-half-years, which renews the Institute’s financial foundation and further strengthens its impact as one of the world’s beacons for curiosity-driven research.</p> <p>“We are invigorated by this endorsement of our mission and express our gratitude as we continue to develop and grow our community of engagement and support for the Institute,” said Robbert Dijkgraaf, Institute Director and Leon Levy Professor.</p> <p> “We are immensely grateful to the generous benefactors who responded to the challenge and shared in the Institute’s mission to provide a critical platform and environment for future breakthroughs,” said Charles Simonyi, Chairman of the Institute’s Board of Trustees and Chairman and Chief Technology Officer of Intentional Corporation.</p> <p>James Simons, Member (1972) in the School of Mathematics who serves as Vice Chairman of the Institute’s Board of Trustees, founder of Renaissance Technologies and Chairman of the Simons Foundation added, “The success of the Campaign reinforces the long-term stability of the endowment, allowing the Institute to operate at the highest level and sustain the freedom to pursue curiosity-driven research.”</p> <p>In addition to the outstanding support provided by its Board of Trustees, the Institute received record-setting contributions from its former scholars, Faculty, Staff, the Friends of the Institute and foundations. More than 1,600 supporters participated, residing in 38 countries, with over 800 new donors among them.</p> <p>The total $212 million given during the course of the Campaign impacts the Institute in a variety of ways. $149 million helped to strengthen the financial core of the Institute and endowed the Directorship, three Professorships, twelve Memberships and the Academic Innovation Fund. An additional $43 million was raised for the Institute Fund for operating support and outreach programs such as the Park City Mathematics Institute Teacher Leadership Program and the National Math Festival. Additionally, a $20 million gift will support the creation of a commons building, which will greatly enhance the Institute’s role as a convener of academic thought and activities across the sciences, humanities and social sciences.</p> <p>For more information, visit <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20151121171423/http://www.ias.edu/support">http://www.ias.edu/support</a>.</p> </div></div></div> </div> </div> <div id="block-block-124" class="block block-block last even"> <p><strong>About the Institute for Advanced Study</strong></p> <p>The Institute for Advanced Study is one of the world’s leading centers for theoretical research and intellectual inquiry. The Institute exists to encourage and support curiosity-driven research in the sciences and humanities—the original, often speculative thinking that produces advances in knowledge that change the way we understand the world. Work at the Institute takes place in four Schools: Historical Studies, Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Social Science. It provides for the mentoring of scholars by a permanent Faculty of approximately 30, and it ensures the freedom to undertake research that will make significant contributions in any of the broad range of fields in the sciences and humanities studied at the Institute.</p> <p>The Institute, founded in 1930, is a private, independent academic institution located in Princeton, New Jersey. Its more than 6,000 former Members hold positions of intellectual and scientific leadership throughout the academic world. Thirty-three Nobel Laureates and 41 out of 56 Fields Medalists, as well as many winners of the Wolf and MacArthur prizes, have been affiliated with the Institute.</p> </div> </div> <aside class="sidebars"> <section class="region region-sidebar-second column sidebar"> <div id="block-ias-blocks-google-cse" class="block block-ias-blocks first odd"> <script>(function(){var cx='000570510802003860211:k2pu2msopc0';var gcse=document.createElement('script');gcse.type='text/javascript';gcse.async=true;gcse.src=(document.location.protocol=='https:'?'https:':'http:')+'//web.archive.org/web/20151121171423/https://www.google.com/cse/cse.js?cx='+cx;var s=document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(gcse,s)})();</script><gcse:search></gcse:search> </div> <div id="block-print-ui-print-links" class="block block-print-ui last even"> <span class="print_html"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20151121171423/https://www.ias.edu/print/capital-campaign-2015" title="Display a printer-friendly version of this page." class="print-page" rel="nofollow"><img class="print-icon print-icon-margin" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20151121171423im_/https://www.ias.edu/sites/all/modules/contrib/print/icons/print_icon.png" width="16px" height="16px" alt="Printer-friendly version" title="Printer-friendly version"/>Printer-friendly version</a></span> </div> </section> </aside> <div style="clear: both;"></div> <aside id="content_bottom"> <div class="region region-content-bottom"> <div id="block-ias-blocks-ias-copyright" class="block block-ias-blocks first last odd"> Copyright © 2015 <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20151121171423/http://www.ias.edu/">Institute for Advanced Study</a>, Einstein Drive, Princeton, New Jersey 08540 USA (609) 734-8000 | <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20151121171423/http://www.ias.edu/contact-us">Contact Us</a> </div> </div> </aside> <div style="clear: both;"></div> </div> </div> <script type="text/javascript">window.NREUM||(NREUM={});NREUM.info={"beacon":"bam.nr-data.net","licenseKey":"8aeab6dce0","applicationID":"11964087","transactionName":"ZABWZkRTWhJXBUxcWl1KYUBfHV0PUgNAG0VbFQ==","queueTime":0,"applicationTime":9,"atts":"SEdVEAxJSRw=","errorBeacon":"bam.nr-data.net","agent":"js-agent.newrelic.com\/nr-768.min.js"}</script></body>  </html>
