When the first Institute for Advanced Study was founded in Princeton in 1930, nobody foresaw that it would eventually become a model that would spread across the globe. Especially within the last 20 years a significant number of new Institutes for Advanced Study (IAS) have surfaced in many regions of the world. Classified as “academic paradises,” they are often regarded as isolated islands or ivory towers, but this is only one part of the story: I will show that (a) IAS are both products and driving forces of the globalization of research and are closely intertwined with different trends of global science policies, and (b) IAS, despite their small size, have played an important role in the development of universities and the sciences, and continue to do so. Finally, I would like to provide an overview of future challenges and tasks of the IAS as spaces of global production of knowledge.
