Organisation
The institute has three different research programmes, which focus on the European Union, the EU's eastern neighbours and Russia, and global security.[1] It also organises conferences, seminars, and round-table meetings on topical subjects related to the research programmes. These seminars provide a forum for high level discussions between academics and decision-makers. Research findings and current analyses of international topics are made public in publications called "FIIA-Report and Briefing Paper". In addition, the institute publishes Ulkopolitiikka, a quarterly journal on international relations. The institute also maintains the Archive and Chronology of Finnish Foreign Policy (Eilen Archive).[2]
The staff of the institute consists of about 50 members. The Director of the institute is Mika Aaltola,[3] and the Research Director is Sinikukka Saari.[4] The work of the institute is directed by a nine-member board appointed by the Parliament. The institute also has an advisory council. The institute was established during the centennial session of the Finnish Parliament in June 2006 and started to function on 1 January 2007 under the auspices of the Parliament of Finland. Previously, the institute functioned as a private research organization that was founded by the Paasikivi Society in 1961 and maintained by the Foundation for Foreign Policy Research.[2] Most of the institute's funding comes from the Parliament of Finland.[5]
