IPSO’s mission is to bring sustainability to areas affected by socio-economic disparities, particularly but not only at community level and in rural-underdeveloped areas of the world. For this reason, we put our focus into a wide range of interconnected topics, from basic socio-economic development, to human rights and education.
Our network extends to all five continents. The primary goal of a committed think-tank is to use past experiences in developing new research ideas, and spread them through training/education programs, workshops, conferences and other activities that can directly lead to unbiased understanding of the topics being analysed. This is our approach here at IPSO’s Research Centre. In particular, our researchers are committed to develop state of the art tools and methods that are specific to local cultures and environments, thus having a high sustainability feature. In order to achieve this, we pursue an in-depth knowledge of the issues from virtually all perspectives: social, economic, and political.
Our researchers are genuinely interested in collaborating with professionals from other fields and disciplines, learning from their mutual experiences. The research results of our Centre are not only shared with the academic world, but they are most importantly at the base of the projects implemented by IPSO’s Operative Division. We take pride in our unbiased position towards external influences of sort.

The Research Centre of IPSO is a registered think-tank with full capabilities, operating in close contact with similar institutions worldwide, and actively present on the international academic stage.
Besides obviously carrying out research projects, we put particular effort in the following activities:
- lectures at institutions for higher education;
- organisation of and participation at international conferences;
- academic publications;
- internship programmes;
- policy briefs;
- track II diplomacy;
- collaboration with other academic institutions.
Although most of academic activites gravitate around traditional centres of education, generally in Europe, North America, Australia, Japan and some other Asian locations, we are at the same time eager to achieve greater levels of engagement with academic circles in the so-called peripheries, which is also where our Operative Division mostly works.
