The staff of the Institute for Security and Development Policy work primarily out of the Institute's office in Stockholm, Sweden. The institute is led by two Directors and a Deputy Director, with overall responsibility for the ISDP activities. These are joined by Research Fellows and Project Coordinators with specific responsibilities for individual projects.
ISDP also regularly invites distinguished guest researchers for longer or shorter periods of time. The exchange of knowledge that follows from providing researchers with the opportunity to conduct research at ISDP further enriches the research with additional perspectives and insights. The Institute also benefits from having a set of associated researchers linked to it. By continuing to tie experts and distinguished researchers to its various endeavours, ISDP is further advancing its aspiration of serving as the focal point for American and European academic and policy discussion regarding contemporary security issues in the region.
