Since its foundation in 2004 the IBEI has carried out 4 strategic plans:

• The first (2005-2009) defined the bases for its establishment.
• The second (2010-2014) boosted its activity as a research institute and graduate school.
• The third plan (2015-2020) proposed to advance in the consolidation of the Institute and set a number of strategic objectives with this aim.

The current Strategic Plan (2021-2025) identifies the different challenges that IBEI is currently facing, indicating a set of strategic objectives to be decisively promoted in the coming years. The mission and vision of the Institute have also been reviewed, taking into account the current context and the evolution of IBEI in recent years.
