OUR PROGRAMS

 

PEACE & SECURITY SYMPOSIUMS

In partnership with premier centers of higher education, IPSI facilitates month-long intensive trainings where world leaders personally convey their knowledge and expertise to carefully-selected participants.  Participants graduate with practical skills that enable them to positively confront violent conflict; they also gain a global network of peers and experts committed to help them achieve their ambitious goals.

PEACE & SECURITY LABS

A select number of innovative student projects sparked by IPSI Peace & Security Symposiums are supported by IPSI. These projects are then used to test pioneering approaches to peacebuilding. In the future, IPSI will utilize the lessons learned from the Labs to drive the evolution of our curriculum.Anouncement: The inaugural Peace & Security Lab recipient is Craig Vandermeer for his “Beyond Training” proposal, which provides micro-loans  for recent graduates of vocational schools to start businesses in southern rural Uganda.  Read More…  

THOUGHT LEADERSHIP
IPSI strives through our programming to be innovative leaders in the peace and security field. We coordinate meetings of great minds on key topics at Peace & Security Symposiums and in Washington, D.C. to spark innovative ideas. We provide consulting and training services for Peace & Security experts and organizations. We also conduct public outreach through a weekly Peace & Security Report e-brief distributed to alumni, prospective students, and interested parties.
