The mission of the Finnish Institute of International Affairs is to produce high-quality research and information for the scientific community and to support political decision-making and public debate. FIIA has four publication categories: FIIA Comment, FIIA Briefing Paper, FIIA Research Paper and FIIA Report. FIIA’s researchers also publish their work in peer-reviewed scientific journals and other publications.
FIIA’s research activities are conducted within the framework of four research programmes and three research centers. Additionally, two cross-cutting themes permeate all of FIIA’s research activities. Read more about these below.
