We believe that our abilities to combine academic research with educational programs and widespread activity on social networks can help in reaching diverse audiences in Israel and abroad. in addition, thanks to the rich collection of primary sources - documents, photos, newspapers etc. - which are made accessible only through our work, we have become the leading institute which can give academic guidance and support on this topic to any other relevant organisation. We bring together European and North African studies by creating a common field of interest in which Jewish, Muslim and Christians can find a joint space.
We are applying to join the network with the recommendation of the EU delegation in light of the topics we are engaged in. We feel that as partners in the network, we will be able to share our materials, knowledge and experience with other individuals and organisations and to find partners with whom we could promote these common topics.
