Our mission is to ensure that USI’s cutting-edge research and scholarly insights reach both the academic sphere and the public domain through diverse and accessible platforms. We take pride in fostering intellectual growth and shaping the discourse on critical strategic and security issues.

Our Strategic Objectives:

Collaborative efforts  with  renowned scholars lead to the creation of compelling books, while our partnerships with leading organizations enhance the reach and impact of our publications.
  • Advanced Digital Content and Platform Management: Our  commitment to  continuously  enhancing the  USI website ensures that strategic insights are readily accessible. This provides our audience  with an  enriching and  informative online experience.
