- Health – through The independent panel on global governance for health.
- Projects on sustainable development linked to the sustainability goals.
- Reassessment of the state's role in global governance.
Objectives

- Bringing in new voices in the debate on global governance from e.g. Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Middle East and Eastern Europe.
- 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.
