AGBU Europe will promote research on Armenian identity, history and culture, through some of its global programs and by supporting local initiatives.

The AGBU Nubarian Library, a resource and development center for university research, located in the center of Paris, has always been an ideal observation point to evaluate today’s important trends, as most of the Western world researchers, as well as several from Armenia, either study at the Library, or work in close contact with it. The Nubarian Library will be at the heart of a major program to conserve and to develop the Armenian heritage, concentrating also on the search for and the training of young researchers, as a major challenge for the future.
