Global Institute for Research, Education Scholarship (GIRES)

GIRES, the Global Institute for Research, Education and Scholarship, is a multi interdisciplinary, academically oriented, independent hub that embraces the entire spectrum of scholarly disciplines, supports freedom of speech and artistic expression, promotes equality and respects diversity. Its acronym inspired by gyres, the large systems of rotating ocean currents that shape our habitat and affect our lives and its motto, “aut viam inveniam aut faciam” concentrates the character and vision; “will either find a path or create one” by embracing innovation and transforming global education. Active in research and a supporter of multi-faceted scholarship, the institute explores the past, analyzes the present and interprets the future and tracks the roots that formed our identity, affected our memory and shaped our social, economic, political and technological reality. GIRES places society and its citizens at the center of its actions while creating clusters of scholars, a collaborative ecosystem, for those who wish to think out of the box and wish to work with people who share similar interests, values and dreams in order to build the foundations for the next generations.
