The Counsel of the University of Basel has officially approved the association agreement between the University of Basel and the Basel Institute on Governance. The Basel Institute, along with only a very small group of other independent Swiss organizations, including the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute and Swisspeace, is now an official “associated institute” of the University of Basel.

The purpose of the association agreement is to strengthen the links and collaboration between the two institutions, by facilitating greater access, transfer and exchange of academic sciences and research of the University of Basel on the one hand, and hands-on, praxis-oriented experience of the Basel Institute on the other hand.
