ISDP has since 2005 arranged yearly dialogs together with the Institute for Disarmament and Peace (IDP) to increase the understanding of European policy in DPRK and DPRK policy in Europe. The focus has been on confidence building and regional security issues but also broader issues that are of importance for the parties involved. Moreover, ISDP and IDP have increased its bilateral contacts within both academic and policy research. This has resulted in increased exchanges of staff and research. In 2012 the project will focus on not only regional security but also the issues of economic, environment and EU-DPRK relations with conducting joint research, publications and seminar between ISDP and IDP.
