The Finnish Institute of International Affairs (FIIA) is an independent research institute that produces high level research to support political decision-making and public debate both nationally and internationally.
The Institute receives its core funding from the Finnish Parliament and sets its own research agenda independently. In editing publications the Institute undertakes quality control but the responsibility for views expressed ultimately rests with the author(s).
FIIA was established in its present form in 2007, having existed up to that point and since the 1960s as a private foundation.
FIIA currently has four ongoing research programmes: the European Union, International Politics of Natural Resources and the Environment, Russia in the Regional and Global Context, and Transformation of the World Order. The Institute is a research and expert community. Our fellows publish internationally in peer reviewed and other established publications.
FIIA has a broad and active outreach programme intended for decision-makers, researchers, civil servants, NGOs and the media. We emphasize on-line publishing, producing research reports, working papers and briefing papers, mainly in English, as well as a quarterly journal in Finnish. Our events are tailored to specific target audiences and they attract both national and international speakers and audiences.
The Institute houses a public library specializing in international relations.
FIIA currently employs about 45 people, over half of whom are researchers.
