Mission Statement
Our mission is to be a globally valued source of independent thinking, informed debate and insightful ideas on how to build a prosperous and secure world for all.
FIRD pursues this mission
by drawing on our membership to promote open as well as confidential debates about significant developments in international affairs and about the context and content of policy responses;
by producing independent and rigorous analysis of critical global, regional and country-specific challenges;
by offering new ideas to decision-makers and -shapers on how these could best be tackled from the near to long term.
