Our vision for the future

International knowledge belongs beyond borders.

As ESRI marks five years since its founding in 2021, our priorities remain focused on expanding access to high-quality international education, strengthening analytical capabilities, fostering interdisciplinary dialogue and developing new opportunities for academic and professional cooperation.

International Relations should not remain confined to academic institutions or diplomatic circles. Knowledge of international affairs is essential to governments, businesses, civil society and individuals seeking to understand and shape the international environment.

From Brazil, we are building an institution committed to connecting education, international analysis and strategic thinking with the challenges of a changing world.
