The Royal Institute for International Relations, EGMONT (in former days IRRI-KIIB), founded in 1947 by eminent Belgian political leaders, is an independent think-tank based in Brussels. Its interdisciplinary research is conducted in a spirit of total academic freedom.

A platform of quality information, a forum for debate and analysis, a melting pot of ideas in the field of international politics, the Institute's ambition - through its publications, colloquia, seminars and recommendations - is to make a useful contribution to the decision-making process.

Drawing on the expertise of its own research fellows, as well as that of external specialists, both Belgian and foreign, it provides analysis and suggests international policy options that are meant to be as operational as possible.

Benefiting from the role acquired by Brussels in the global arena and from the prestigious setting of the Egmont Palace, the Institute offers an ideal forum to visiting Heads of State, Heads of government, representatives of international organisations, foreign ministers and other political figures
