About International Programmes

RSIS is the intersection of a think tank and graduate school in international affairs, which provides robust research and acute insights on geopolitics, international relations and security, influencing thought leadership and policymaking.

RSIS hosts a number of international programmes that serve as invaluable platforms for fostering cross-cultural exchange, collaboration, and understanding on a global scale. These initiatives facilitate the sharing of knowledge, expertise, and best practices across borders, formulating innovative solutions to pressing global challenges. Through its international programmes, RSIS engages its network of stakeholders from the government, non-governmental organisation, industry, and academia in collaborative research projects, academic exchanges, and professional development opportunities. One such programme is the International Conference on Cohesive Societies (ICCS). This preeminent event for interfaith and multicultural dialogue, which was mooted by the 8th President of Singapore Halimah Yacob, is organised by RSIS with the support from Singapore’s Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY).
