Ifri publishes Politique étrangère, a leading journal on international issues, and Ramses, a collective work published annually. In addition, more than 150 new digital publications are available each year, in open access, on the Ifri website. The main working languages are French and English, but some publications are also available in German and Russian. Ifri enriches the international debate with a constant concern for objectivity, intellectual rigor and transversality.

Each year, Ifri organizes more than 100 events.

Ifri's debates promote the sharing of analyses between specialists from the worlds of research, public administration, business, the media and civil society.

Ifri's research fellows are recognized in France and internationally for their expertise. They regularly give talks in academic circles, in front of administrations or political leaders, or in companies. For example, each year, Ifri participates in several dozen parliamentary hearings and thus contributes to enlightening public decision-makers.

In a world where "fake news" is proliferating, the ability of Ifri's research fellows to offer rigorous and objective analyses is particularly appreciated by journalists. Thus, Ifri's experts frequently intervene in the French and international media, both in the press, on television, on the radio and on the web.

With "Le monde selon l'Ifri", a bi-monthly podcast presented by Marc Hecker and Katie Hamilton, Ifri offers different deciphering of the world as it is, through its researchers and external speakers.
