GS is firmly grounded on the scientific conviction that certain sets of problems dealing with the complexities of our societies and present-day time should be investigated with the advantage of a number of academic approaches, only one point of view being insufficient to tackle the depth and intricacy of these issues. For this reason, the topics within the programme are selected for being at the intersection of several branches of study.
