Gate entry to Harvard Radcliffe Institute

Radcliffe Institute
For Advanced Study

The Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University—known as Harvard Radcliffe Institute—is one of the world’s leading centers for interdisciplinary exploration. We bring students, scholars, artists, and practitioners together to pursue curiosity-driven research, expand human understanding, and grapple with questions that demand insight from across disciplines.

Celebrating 25 Years of the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study

On September 26 and 27, 2024, we will convene leading Radcliffe-affiliated scholars, scientists, artists, writers, and practitioners—with students, faculty, alumnae/i, and the public—to mark a quarter century of the Radcliffe Institute. Over an inspiring two days in Cambridge, we will celebrate Radcliffe’s distinctive legacy, remarkable impact, and exceptional promise as we look ahead to the next 25 years.
