Founded in 1930 by Louis and Caroline Bamberger, The Institute for Advanced Study is a world-renowned center for theoretical research. The Institute is perhaps best known as the academic home of Albert Einstein, John von Neumann, and Erwin Panofsky, after their immigration to the United States. Some other of the best known scientists known for their work at the institute have been Kurt Gödel, J. Robert Oppenheimer, Homer A. Thompson, George Kennan and Hermann Weyl.

It is not part of any educational institution, however the proximity of Princeton University means that informal ties are close and a large number of collaborations have arisen over the years. The Institute was actually housed within Princeton University in the building since called Jones Hall, until Fuld Hall was finished and opened in 1939.
