The Nijmegen Center for Border Research (NCBR) is a research institute based at Radboud University in Nijmegen (NL). Ongoing research deals with boundaries, identities and cross-border cooperation and interaction.
The aim of the MOT is to facilitate the implementation of cross-border projects. The positioning of the MOT as a network, which is supported at a national level and brings together the involved parties of the border regions, ensures the possibility of a structured dialogue between the authorities (at a national and European level) as well as between local and regional parties.
The Association for Borderlands Studies brings together scholars, institutions and experts from various disciplines and regional backgrounds in Europe, Africa, Asia, North and South America as contributory members who deal with the topic of “borders.” Joint conferences are organized and a scientific journal (Journal of Borderlands Studies) and a newsletter are published.
