The mission of IPA is to contribute to informed public debate on key Polish, European and global policy issues. Main areas of study include European policy, social policy, civil society, migration, and development policy as well as law and democratic institutions. The IPA has a team of in-house researchers/policy analysts and an extensive network of associate experts from academia and other paths of life. IPA publishes the results of their projects in research reports, policy papers, and books, which are broadly disseminated among members of parliament, government officials and civil servants, academics, journalists, and civil society activists. Every year the IPA hosts dozens of conferences, seminars, round tables, workshops, and other events with the participation of key policy and opinion-makers.
