The Institute of International Relations (I.I.R.) is affiliated with Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences in Athens preserving, however, its administrative autonomy.
The vision to create a space where students, researchers, professors, diplomats, journalists and practitioners of international relations could engage in a meaningful free exchange of ideas led to the founding of the Institute in 1989, by Professor Dimitri Constas. As a forum of public exchange the Institute aspires to a meaningful synthesis of academic expertise with field exposure over a wide range of issues relating to the realm of international relations. A strong commitment to the value of developing a well informed global perspective underlies the diverse activities that the Institute has undertaken over the past years. The staff and the wide network of associates of the Institute share the belief that expert knowledge in our increasingly interconnected world, ought to serve the public good beyond narrow ideological and institutional confines at the local, the national and international level.
