Apart from the five research clusters, IPS promotes better understanding of Singapore’s foreign policy and international relations through various activities such as roundtable discussions, seminars and workshops. IPS also conducts briefings for foreign dignitaries, scholars and students when they visit Singapore. International organisations which IPS has worked with include the World Bank, the United Nations, the International Maritime Organisation, the Pacific Economic Cooperation Council, the ASEAN Secretariat and the APEC Secretariat. These exchanges form part of IPS’ effort to raise public awareness on Singapore’s role in regional and global affairs. The Institute also represents Singapore at international meetings and events, highlighting the Singapore perspectives and insights from IPS’ research.
