普林斯顿高等研究院(Institute for Advanced Study,下文简称IAS)是全球领先的基础研究机构。自1930年成立至今,普林斯顿高等研究院邀访超过8000名历史学家、数学家、自然科学家和社会科学家进行驻院研究,在全球范围内产生惊人的学术影响力。众所周知,爱因斯坦晚年有22年时间生活在高等研究院。杨振宁回忆录《读书教学三十年》对其与爱因斯坦在高等研究院的交往有详细的记录。另外数学界菲尔兹奖得主、法国新生代数学家Cédric Villani在其公开日记《一个定理的诞生:我与菲尔茨奖的一千个日夜》中,也详尽记叙驻访高等研究院的经历,包括如何与同行进行数学攻关并最终做出突破性的研究工作。

高等研究院官网展示其创始人Abraham Flexner制定的学术宗旨——“本机构承诺召集一批科学家和研究者,他们可以同其学生和助手一起致力于超越目前人类知识的极限任务,并训练那些可以在这个意义上攻坚下去的人。

高等研究院的社会科学院成立于1973年,其使命是分析当代社会及其变迁。社会科学院致力于采用多元和批判的方法,从跨学科和国际化的视角对社会进行研究。社会科学院每年邀请约25位具有不同观点、方法和课题的访问学者,为其开展学术讨论和交流提供空间。这些学者来自不同的领域,包括政治理论、经济学、法律、心理学、社会学、人类学、历史学、哲学和文学等。他们进行各自的研究,并参加集体活动。最主要的集体活动是每周一次的研讨会,驻访学者通常在会上报告自己正在进行的工作。

为促进访问学者之间的学术交流,社会科学院每年确定一个研究主题。被选中的大约一半的学者从事与该主题有关的工作,并为相应的研讨会作出学术贡献。而另一半则从事其他专题的研究。
