Our main focus is human security. We publish and talk within academia, international organizations and public opinion outlets.
As a virtual think tank, we are built as a collective of researchers, integrated as members or affiliates. Members can vote for the integration of the new researchers and be elected annually for the Board.
We do research and advocacy on security & social policy agendas that affect human rights and human-being.
Our main publication product is the IA Policy Brief Series, registered under the ISSN 2789-8040. Our other publications include Reports and Glossary, all part of our ZENODO library, under the European Union OPEN AIRE base.
