The CIRSA project to which we have been preparing for several months, has just started! The culmination of the laborious preparatory works is the Central European Institute of Research and Strategic Analysis – think tank oriented to academic, expert and editing activity. Our organization focuses on professionalism and internationalization – amongst members of the Programme Council and the Expert Council are outstanding specialists from Ukraine, Romania, Lithuania and Georgia.

CIRSA is also are local achievement. The think-tank – to a considerable extent – was established basing on the environment associated with the College of Business and Entrepreneurship in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski as well as the Editorial Board of the peer-reviewed academic journal “Ante Portas – Security Studies”. It is the next step on track to make Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski an important (because it is already noticeable) centre of studies regarding military, security, geopolitcs and geoeconomics.

I kindly express gratitude to all the people who joined our design and I encourage academics and analysts as well as common enthusiasts to liaison and team with our initiatives.
