FLAGSHIP PROGRAMS: PEACE & SECURITY SYMPOSIUMS |
| In partnership with premier centers of higher education, IPSI facilitates month-long intensive trainings where world leaders personally convey their knowledge and expertise to carefully-selected participants. These leaders develop hands-on curricula based on personal experience and seamlessly blend theory and practical skills to enlighten our diverse student body. Those future leaders selected to attend Peace & Security Symposiums include students from across the spectrum of gender, ethnicity, religion, geography, and political ideology. Diversity is critical, as our programs emphasize the importance of peer learning and networking.
In our Symposiums, IPSI fosters an environment where students from opposing factions can safely grapple with difficult issues in consultation with their peers and leaders that are at the forefront of the global peace and security field. Participants graduate with practical skills that enable them to positively confront violent conflict; they also gain a global network of peers and experts committed to help them achieve their ambitious goals.
THE BOLOGNA, ITALY SYMPOSIUM: The Bologna, Italy Symposium on Conflict Prevention, Resolution, & Reconciliation in partnership with Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS). Learn More Future plans include symposiums on International & Transitional Justice, as well as conflict resolution in specific regions across the globe. |
PEACE & SECURITY LABS |
 One the most unique aspects of IPSI Symposiums is the Peace & Security Labs. A select number of innovative student projects sparked by IPSI Peace & Security Symposiums will be supported by IPSI. These projects will be used to test pioneering approaches to peacebuilding. In the future, IPSI will utilize the lessons learned from the Labs to drive the evolution of our curriculum.

THOUGHT LEADERSHIP |
 IPSI strives through our programming to be innovative leaders in the peace and security field. We coordinate meetings of great minds on key topics at Peace & Security Symposiums and in Washington, D.C. to spark innovative ideas. We then publish and utilize the Thought Leadership findings to counsel future IPSI Programs and Peace & Security experts. IPSI conducts public outreach through a Monthly Peace & Security Report e-brief distributed to alumni, prospective students, and interested parties, as well as through occasional speaker series in Washington, DC. |
