ISIS works with and supports Bulgarian NGOs, academic organisations, universities and military educational institutions in the field of national and international security and foreign policy. ISIS worked with the Bulgarian Parliament and the Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Bulgaria. ISIS consulted in a non-contractual cooperative manner various European and North American official and academic institutions on national, regional and security issues.
ISIS supported M. A. and Ph. D. dissertation writers including by linking them with established and highly qualified foreign and international experts, seminars and courses. Teaching the tools of Internet for international studies is part of our help. Publications of young scholars were displayed on the website of ISIS. Young associates strengthened the voluntary team of ISIS.
