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.

Radcliffe Moments Past, Present, and Future
By fostering inquiry across traditional boundaries, the Institute ignites creativity and drives innovation, giving rise to what we call Radcliffe Moments. To mark our 25th anniversary, we invite you to learn about a few of our Radcliffe Moments and meet some of the individuals who make up this vibrant community.
