The SCCIS is a successor and a follower of the research and analytical structures of MGIMO University: Problem Laboratory for the System Analysis of International Relations (1976-1990) and the Center for International Studies (1990-2004). At present, the SCCIS is comprised of nine research centers:

The Center for Global Problems

The Center for the Studies of War and Peace

The Center for Euro-Atlantic Security

The Center for Caucasus Studies

The Center for East Asian Studies and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO)

The Center for Middle Eastern Studies

The Center for Regional Political Studies

The Civilizations` Partnership Center

SCCIS Chief – Andrei Y. Melville, Professor, Doctor of Philosophy, Vice-Rector for research, Honorary Scientist of the Russian Federation;

SCCIS Director – Alexander S. Orlov, Minister Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, PhD (History), Professor at MGIMO’s UNESCO Chair for Democracy and Human Rights.

The SCCIS pretends to be one of the leading think-tanks in the sphere of generating and developing fresh academic and practical ideas in the sphere of international relations and foreign policy of Russia. The innovation potential of foreign policy, its capability to generate new, fresh and extraordinary ideas is one of the most powerful additional recourses of state in the contemporary world. In this respect, Russian foreign policy has long and brilliant traditions.

The SCCIS is one of the leading national think-tanks generating new ideas in the sphere of foreign policy. All the SCCIS centers are working in constant cooperation at the expert level, mainly through research papers, with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia, as well as with other state structures. The SCCIR activities are aimed at the solving various key problems and tasks of Russian foreign policy, such as long-range planning; promotion of deeper integration of strategic vision and realization of tactical priorities; deepening the synthesis of academic and expert knowledge, filling the gap between academic science and real policy; elaboration of common approaches to foreign policy for different state institutions, scientific community, NGOs, leading political parties and business structures. In order to fulfill the above-mentioned tasks, the SCCIS is organizing conferences, seminars and round tables on the regular basis, publishes research results .

The SCCIS is the center for the integration of academic research and education in MGIMO University. Further development of MGIMO as the world-class research and educational center needs a special organizational atmosphere and structure, where fresh scientific ideas and theoretical fundamental studies are transformed into academic courses and study materials and alter the methods of teaching. Thus the SCCIS as the center for the integration of academic research and the educational process has several tasks: the definition of the most perspective trends in the development of social science and, respectively, in the evolution of the educational process in MGIMO; the concentration of the leading scientists` and teachers` efforts on these perspective trends; the acceleration of the synthesis of science and educational process for further modernization of the latter. The solution of these tasks can be found through the new organizational decisions.

The SCCIS is the constantly developing and self-organizing system of centers, capable to generate principally new scientific, educational, expert and management ideas. Alongside with leading researches from different MGIMO Departments, experts from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other central state institutions, young scientists and post-graduate students are taking an active part in the SCCIS activities. Launching the new series of research papers “Fresh Look: Young Scientists` Studies” is promising to become an important aspect of the SCCIS cooperation with the new generation of researchers. Within the framework of the SCCIS, certain scientific and educational projects for MGIMO students, such as “The UN Model”, are also under the implementation.

Flexible principle of the SCCIR organization is realized through elaborating the main directions of its development via regular consultations involving the directors of the SCCIS centers and leading researchers. Nowadays, the SCCIS is in the process of outlining its long-term development strategy in all the above-mentioned directions within the framework of the MGIMO Innovation Program.
