-
Research in the area of regional cooperation, including research based on records accumulated at the Peres Center for Peace;
-
Holding conferences, colloquia, seminars and advanced studies on the topics of diplomacy and regional cooperation;

Publishing original research in UIDRC's fields of interest;
-
Cooperation with the program of Diplomacy Studies and relevant programs in the Harold Hartog School of Government and Policy;
