Networking
Affiliation
While the Bussola Institute is not yet a formal member of an association of research institutes or think tanks, it is currently exploring possibilities in this regard. The institute has, or is in the process of concluding memoranda of understanding for joint research work with other academic or research institutions. For example, a Memorandum of Understanding was concluded with Dublin City University in June 2018 to promote joint research, innovative thinking and actions in the areas of tolerance, diversity and inclusion.
