Bologna Institute for Policy Research

The Bologna Institute for Policy Research promotes problem-centered, interdisciplinary research in international policy, drawing upon the global network of scholars of the School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) and the comparative advantage of SAIS Europe as a transatlantic institution for research and teaching with more than fifty years of experience in Europe. Resident Faculty Fellows lead research programs in six areas of international policy. Each research program is enriched by visiting scholars, seminars, conferences and publications. The institute conducts independent research supported by the Johns Hopkins University and SAIS Europe through contributions from alumni, friends, foundations and academic grant-making programs. The work of the Institute for Policy Research at SAIS Europe is made available to the public with the goal of providing a pivotal forum for thought and debate in international public policy. The institute is directed by Erik Jones, Director of European and Eurasian Studies.
