Engage in Global Decision-Making
One of the Institute’s key goals as a non-state stakeholder in diplomacy is to actively participate in intergovernmental decision- and policy-making processes on sustainable development.
To achieve this aim, the Institute regularly receives special accreditations for conferences, summits, meetings, and other events organized by:
-
United Nations System Organizations
-
World Health Organization (WHO)
-
International Monetary Fund (IMF)
-
World Bank Group
-
World Trade Organization (WTO)
-
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)
-
Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs)
Public diplomacy practitioners help advance coherence across the UN agenda’s cross-cutting issues by fostering meaningful, strategic, and effective engagement of civil society, academia, and diverse stakeholders in UN processes.
This multi-step process includes informing stakeholders about relevant UN events and participation modalities, outlining registration requirements and selection criteria, obtaining special UN accreditation for the Institute, selecting candidates and preparing delegations to participate, and coordinating joint inputs, statements, and follow-up actions.

Building Bridges through AI Multistakeholder Diplomacy: Engaging Practitioners, Academia, Civil Society, and IOs
Making Your Voice Heard
Due to the digital revolution, official diplomats increasingly operate in parallel or together with other foreign policy actors, and professional diplomacy as a whole is becoming overshadowed by the activities of traditionally non-diplomatic actors, such as the public (mediated by social media), academia, civil society, and the private sector. Our institute is your chance to make your voice heard in the negotiation process. Public diplomacy seeks to build an environment in which diverse voices can be articulated, heard, and empowered to have influence.

Through our work, public diplomacy practitioners help to ensure that underrepresented groups participate meaningfully in global policy discussions, stay engaged and informed about decisions and processes that impact them.

AI-driven tools to safeguard research integrity
The overwhelming majority of publications on public diplomacy fail to generate meaningful scientific or theoretical progress. Far from being a benign by-product of academic output, these low-value papers constitute a risk for civil society, which depends on rigorous, reliable knowledge, and they mislead key stakeholders. The Institute evaluates the quality of new scientific papers on public diplomacy using AI-driven tools to safeguard research integrity—empowering journalists, researchers, and civil society to expose when political agendas or ideology distort science and pull it away from evidence.
We put civil society representatives and researchers at the heart of international relations.
THE POWER OF DECENTRALIZED CO-WORKING
The Institute supports open, accountable, and participatory decision-making and good governance by promoting decentralized cooperation through multistakeholder partnerships that ensure that no one is left behind and by encouraging the involvement of both researchers and practitioners of public diplomacy as key stakeholders at all levels.
Member-authored Books and Contributed Chapters
Many members of the Institute teach courses, conduct research and produce publications.
The books illustrate the breadth, depth, and diversity of the Institute’s academic community—featuring, in 2020–25, 200+ scholars from 14 countries around the world. Scholars range from postdocs to distinguished professors.
Members are invited to tell us about a book you’ve authored, its focus.
