Institute of Policy Studies
The Institute of Policy Studies (IPS) was established in 1988 as an independent research centre to study and generate public policy ideas in Singapore. It became an autonomous research centre of the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore in 2008.
The IPS analyses public policy, builds bridges between thought leaders and communicates its findings to a wide audience. Its researchers examine issues of critical national interest across a variety of fields, and study the attitudes and aspirations of Singaporeans through surveys of public perception. The Institute’s Society and Culture department studies the changing media landscape and the implications for public policy.
“IPS studies the changing media landscape. Our mandate is to build networks among thought leaders. We are pleased to host the AJF and provide space for experienced journalists to recharge themselves and deepen their understanding of the region.”
Janadas Devan, Director, Institute of Policy Studies.
