Working with Berkeley
The NSSS has signed a five-year collaborative agreement with the University of California, Berkeley, USA. This unique agreement will allow doctoral students and permanent academic staff to travel to U.C. Berkeley for research projects.

The NSSS will invite researchers from U.C. Berkeley to visit the NSSS and in return researchers from the NSSS to have access to working space during their stay in Berkeley.
