50th Anniversary Development Campaign

In 2008, the Institute celebrates 50 years of promoting the rule of law in international affairs. If it is to continue to play a leading role in stimulating debate, providing authoritative practical research and setting legal standards internationally, the Institute needs to advance and be fully capable of undertaking fresh initiatives in response to emerging needs. For this reason we are embarking upon a major development campaign to coincide with our 50th anniversary.

The Institute seeks to build sustainable income to enable it to:

Attract the highest level of scholarship

• recruit senior researchers of the highest calibre
  
• encourage talented junior researchers at the outset of their careers
  
• provide a professional research environment and a welcoming space for researchers and visitors at our Russell Square premises

Generate new activities

• provide appropriate training courses for government and non-government officials around the world
  
• provide short courses and summer schools
  
• enable the Institute to plan for the longer term and to respond to opportunities as they arise
• promote awareness of our work and encourage partnerships
  
• invest in a high-quality events, publications and communications programme
