In 2001 the SPA created a Centenary Fellowship in celebration of 100 years of its existence.  Each year a special grant enables one of the departments to host a visit by a distinguished philosopher for a period of between one and six months.  (The grant may also be used to host shorter visits by several philosophers.)
