- To support interdisciplinary research on local and international themes through coursework, conferences, and seminars;
- To provide an inclusive forum for faculty and students to discuss and debate current, international issues;
- To encourage international faculty and student exchange;
- To seek external funding to support the Institute’s mission; and
