The Research Institute for European and American Studies (RIEAS) is a legal non-profit independent research institute that provides the opportunity to the young talented scholars to contribute their research findings. RIEAS is based at Athens, Greece.
RIEAS is primarily focused on promoting research and policy analysis on Southeastern Europe and the broader Eastern Mediterranean region seen as integral parts of the global security model which emerged after the implosion of the USSR.
RIEAS cooperates with other educational and foreign policy research think-tanks, in providing forums for the analysis of various security, intelligence, and policy issues affecting relations between the countries of the region and the Western Alliance.
A major part of RIEAS ongoing research concentrates on Greek foreign and security policy. Greece faces long-term instability in its Balkan neighborhood, not to mention perennial tensions with Turkey.
One of RIEAS's key objectives is to offer strategic analysis of Greek security and provide pro-active, anticipatory thinking on a wide range of political and defense policy issues affecting its future.
In pursuit of its mission objectives, RIEAS particularly welcomes collaboration with younger scholars in the early stages of their academic careers.
RIEAS is committed to innovation, free thinking, and participation.
