The Board of the Finnish Institute of International Affairs (FIIA) has approved the Institute’s new strategy.  The new strategy focuses on cutting-edge research and impact development. The FIIA strategy has been implemented in cooperation with the personnel and stakeholders of FIIA.

The vision for FIIA is to produce high-quality research on foreign policy, international relations, the international economy, the EU, and Finnish foreign policy, so that FIIA could even more effectively support political decision-making and advance academic debate and participate in public discussion both at home and abroad.

The strategic focuses for FIIA are relevant and world-class research, a dynamic working environment, and impact development.

FIIA is a research institute with a diverse international staff. Our key principles are equality and non-discrimination. The Institute offers its staff opportunities for continuous learning and fosters collegiality and a pleasant working environment.

FIIA emphasizes the broadening of  the Institute’s collaborative networks and increasing its international visibility.

The key values of FIIA are diversity, integrity, independence, openness and quality.
