Our mission
Connecting research, education and the world beyond.
CIRIS researches and promotes International Relations and International Security at local and international levels.
A bridge between students and professionals.
CIRIS brings students and professionals together through research, publishing and education. We connect academic inquiry with the issues people encounter in practice, creating opportunities to exchange ideas and learn from one another.
Our work seeks to empower aspiring scholars and leaders, including veterans, refugees and underrepresented students.
Founded by alumni of American Military University and Sigma Iota Rho, CIRIS is a veteran-led, nonpartisan nonprofit incorporated in Delaware in 2019.
