Since 2013 IAI, in cooperation with Centro Interdipartimentale di ricerca sul cambiamento politico (CIRCaP) of the University of Siena, has realized periodic surveys aimed at identifying and assessing public opinion trends regarding Italian foreign policy. The surveys are conducted on a representative sample of individuals living in Italy.

The objective of this research project is to assess the evolution of EU crisis management missions and the participation of Italy. In particular, it aims to evaluate the effectiveness of EU missions, with a special focus on training and recruitment of personnel, as well as the proposals for reforming national and European legislation.
