The International Policy Research Center (CIPI) was founded on November 25th, 2010 as an academic institution dedicated to future studies in the field of international relations. Since its foundation, it has periodically held events such as the Conference of Strategic Studies and the Conference of American Studies, which bring together specialists from the Cuban and international academy of the branch, and together with its publications – the Journal of Strategic Studies and Notebooks of Our America – they bring together the main scientific contributions in the field of international politics. Since 2016, CIPI also manages the National Program of Science, Technology and Research of International Relations with the objective of articulating scientific activity in that field at the national level. The institution has a staff of researchers from various disciplines of the social sciences.
