IRIS

The French Institute for International and Strategic Affairs (IRIS), an association recognized as being of public utility, is one of the leading French think tanks specializing in geopolitical and strategic issues. It is unique in combining a research center with an educational institution that offers degree programs through its school, IRIS Sup’. This model contributes to its national and international appeal. The IRIS is structured around four main areas of activity: research, publishing, event organization, and training.
