Since the program's inception in 2002, over 100 IPSS Fellows have served in more than 90 international organizations ranging from large intergovernmental organizations such as the United Nations and the World Bank, to nongovernmental organizations such as OXFAM, Human Rights Watch, the International Organization for Migration (IOM), and the Institute for Security Studies.

The IPSS program maintains special relationships with many of the organizations where our students are placed. While these relationships can faciliate an IPSS placement, every year students also research and are placed at new internationally focused organizations, creating an ever-widening list of IPSS resources. In many cases IPSS students are offered exceptional opportunities that are unavailable to anyone else.

"[The Fellow] was very very helpful and a real asset to CSIS Pacific Forum…Her monograph for us is already on line. It is a great piece. I hope that it will become something of a reference work. So far MIIS has sent us two excellent people.”
“He was key in enabling this Country Office to successfully play the role of honest broker that the GSB initiative ascribes to UNDP…He was highly appreciated by all for his dynamism and cheerfulness. We hope that his work with us in has been as useful and rewarding for him as it has been for us.”
