The work of the BIPR is made available to the public with the goal of providing a pivotal forum for thought and debate in international public policy. Resident faculty fellows lead research programs in the following six main policy areas. Each research program is enriched by visiting scholars, seminars, conferences and publications. - Transatlantic relations and the changing world order
- Implications of the global economic and financial crisis
- Ethnic conflict and post-conflict resolution
- Energy, technology and the global environment
- Comparative regional integration in Europe and elsewhere
- Political transition in Southeastern Europe and the Mediterranean
The Bologna Institute for Policy Research organizes thematic seminar series at the SAIS Bologna Center. Seminars are held in English and open to the public. Lecture summaries, three-question video interviews and event audio content are posted when available following each event as seminar reports. The BIPR is directed by Erik Jones, professor of European Studies. |
