Current Research Series
University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU)

In September, 2009, University of Nevada Provost Marc Johnson (left) and Iñaki Goirizelaia, Rector of the University of the Basque Country (right), signed an agreement committing their respective institutions to collaborate in the sphere of higher education through the promotion of research activity, scientific dissemination, and the social projection of their results.

This initiative is part of the strategy the Board of Directors of the UPV / EHU to encourage the development of a research series to increase the generation of knowledge and form a diverse body of researchers who excel in all areas. This project specifically aims to facilitate and support the publication of scholarly works of superior quality in areas that have less international presence.

This series, called Current Research will consist of eight volumes published annually over the three-year agreement, and aims to expedite the dissemination of research results in various fields. The publications will address multidisciplinary issues with a transversal approach.

The University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) and the University of Nevada, Reno have embarked on this project to publish books of indisputable academic interest. The publication of these books, in English, will be carried out by the Center for Basque Studies at the University of Nevada, Reno (CBS) and will focus on work of professors and researchers at the UPV / EHU, which will comply with standard criteria for content and scientific quality.
