ABOUT IREX

The principal purpose of the International Research & Exchanges Board 
(IREX) is to serve the interests of the American scholarly community 
engaged in individual and collaborative research and intellectual 
exchanges in the successor states to Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. 
Many of the barriers that constrained such exchanges prior to the dramatic 
upheavals of 1989 have since fallen. This has created an unprecedented set 
of historical opportunities, nonetheless marked by enduring cultural, 
economic, and political obstinacies. 

The breakdown of infrastructures in the former Soviet Union and Eastern 
Europe has made the stabilization and guarantee of scholarly access more, 
rather than less, complicated in the short term. To carry out its mission 
in this challenging new environment, IREX is able to call upon many 
distinctive strengths resulting from its almost twenty-five years of 
experience in these regions. IREX continues to foster its well-established 
scholarly and research programs through individual as well as 
collaborative projects. IREX will work with the American scholarly 
community to ensure that long-standing programs are adapted to a rapidly 
changing research environment.

An open exchange of ideas benefits American scholars in their quest for 
knowledge, and assists colleagues in Eastern Europe and the states of the 
former Soviet region in their efforts to join fully the international 
community. Such exchanges also enable IREX to consider the best means by 
which scholarly communities both in the United States and in the region 
can bring the results of basic research to bear on policy options dealing 
with the transition in all of its dimensions.

For a quarter century, IREX has been promoting scholarly interaction at 
the highest level between the United States, and Eastern Europe, the 
Soviet Union, and their successor states. Through its innovative efforts 
to broaden research access for intellectual communities, IREX has helped 
build an extraordinarily valuable body of scholarship and analysis across 
the full spectrum of research disciplines. Having helped to train 
generations of scholars and policy analysts from the former Soviet Union 
and Eastern Europe, IREX now finds that many of these same specialists 
have come into positions of authority and policy influence within the 
academic, political, economic and social policy elites of their respective 
countries.

Working with both public and private funders, IREX has maintained a bold 
series of programs which have had significant results. IREX programs have: 
1)	made possible long and short-term research
their careers;
2)	developed direct relationships with scholars of the
former communist states;
3)	created opportunities for scholarly cooperation;
4)	supported specialized language training programs;
5)	improved access to research materials;
6)	disseminated the practical results of its research
programs to and for its public constituencies in academia and government, 
resulting in the publication of over 4200 books, dissertations and 
articles, and research and training support for an even greater number of 
scholars.

These comprehensive programs are a source of considerable pride within the 
academic community, IREX, and its sponsors. IREX has delivered a broad 
range of services to thousands of scholars and students from the United 
States and an array of partner countries. These services are highly valued 
by hundreds of universities and over fifty national scholarly associations 
with whom IREX has ties, and are also strongly supported by the American 
Council of Learned Societies and the Social Science Research Council. 
These existing programs clearly form the strong core of IREX activities 
upon which new initiatives can be built.
