- Encourage synergy and the crossing of ideas between researchers from the field.
- Stimulate interest in global governance issues among students and PhD scholars.
- Link the university more closely to policy-making by producing high-quality knowledge for decision-makers ("policy briefs") and by establishing an arena where decision-makers can come into contact with researchers, civil society organizations and international actors.
