This is the third strategic plan drawn up by IBEI since it was founded in 2004. The first plan laid down the basis for its development (2005-2009), whereas the second plan was aimed at encouraging IBEI’s scholarly research and postgraduate education activities (2010-2014).

The third plan proposes to strengthen the Institute in the years to come (2015-2020) and sets a number of strategic objectives in line with this aim.
