  • to analyse forthcoming trends in several advanced fields of research

  • to overcome the separation between natural and human sciences by highlighting mutual and overlapping connections and to create a platform for international exchange of ideas and methods

  • to improve scientific cooperation between the cultural and research institutions which make up the "Trieste System" and similar institutions in Central and Eastern Europe
