Our Research
As an independent and non-governmental research institute, the Singapore Institute of International Affairs (SIIA) strives to make Singapore a more cosmopolitan and globally-minded society through our policy-relevant research on international affairs.
 
Our work analyses current and emergent trends in the region and recommends new policy initiatives and innovations relevant to decision makers, business leaders, and the wider public.
How We Work
The SIIA’s research team works closely with networks of academics and experts in both Singapore and the Asia-Pacific region. The SIIA also collaborates with some of the leading think tanks, academic institutes and organizations in East Asia, North America and Europe. These networks bring expertise for specific subjects and provide a range of perspectives that reflect the differences in national interests and outlooks in Asia.
Who We Reach
In conjunction with our research themes, the SIIA develops and organizes seminars and workshops among experts and policy-makers, as well as the government, business, students and general public. Through the organisation of conferences and discussions and by promoting our insights in the media, we aim to bridge the gap between research and policymaking. In sharing our research we also ensure that our agenda for reform and progress reaches the minds of practitioners.
 
  SIIA holds a series of discussions on a frequent basis which provides a platform for policymakers, business leaders, academics and experts to raise issues.
