The Centre for International Relations Foundation (CIR) was registered in 1996. It is an independent, non-governmental think tank which deals with international policy issues, as well as Polish foreign and European policy.
Main goals:
- to deepen Polish decision-makers’ knowledge of the EU and the world,
- to popularise knowledge about Poland among opinion-leading circles abroad,
- to analyse international situation.
Since 2009, the Centre for International Relations has been ranked among the top think tanks in Central and Eastern Europe in the University of Pennsylvania’s research The Leading Public Policy Research Organizations in the World.
CIR has become an influential forum for foreign policy analysis and debate, involving leading politicians, diplomats, civil servants, local government officials, businessmen, journalists, students and representatives of other NGOs.
The Centre for International Relation carries out research, outreach and educational activities. The Foundation prepares reports and analyses and participates in international projects in cooperation with similar institutions in several countries.
The Centre’s activities to date have emphasized issues relating to NATO and international security, the different aspects of European integration as well as the position of Poland in Europe, transatlantic relations, a broadly defined Eastern policy, migration, climate and energy, as well as the bilateral and multilateral elements of Polish foreign policy.
