Geostrategic issues and problems related to peace, security and defence policies are becoming even more relevant (and even urgent) today, given the new challenges and risks in these fields. For this reason, it can be said that this is one of the areas of greatest interest in terms of transferring the results of research activity in the social sciences. Universities and research centres cannot ignore this effort, both from the point of view of specialised postgraduate teaching (specialisation courses, Master's Degrees, PhDs) and research activity.
The Institute of Human Rights of the Universitat de València has set up the interdisciplinary team "Geostrategy for Peace, Security and Defence (GPS+D)", directed by Professor Consuelo Ramón Chornet and made up of professors of International Law, Political Science and International Relations. The aim of this group is to set up scientific, teaching and research activities aimed at developing knowledge in the field of geostrategy, security and the culture of defence and peace, based on the basic principle that lies at the origin of the Institute itself, namely, the development of the culture of human rights.
Likewise, the Group aims to contribute to the dissemination, diffusion and transfer of the results of its work, and contemplates the basic objective of specialised training typical of university institutes.
Naturally, the GPS+D maintains (and will try to develop) relations of exchange and collaboration with other groups and centres of higher research, both Spanish and foreign, and also with centres of similar characteristics in the Armed Forces and international organisations.
