With over 150 publications issued each year
under an open access policy in French, English, German and Russian,
Ifri enriches the international debate with a constant concern for
objectivity, intellectual rigor, transversality, openness, and support to public and private decision-making.
Ifri publishes four types of electronic publications: Études de l’Ifri, Notes de l’Ifri, Briefings de l’Ifri and Éditoriaux de l’Ifri.
Briefings de l’Ifri are relatively short operational texts where the key takeaways are clearly identifiable from the first page. This format is designed for readers who lack the time to read a policy paper or report.
