To meet its objectives - informing decisions, identifying emerging issues, and creating a platform for dialogue -, IDDRI organizes several kinds of activities: regular seminars, international conferences, conference-debates and workshops.

Most of these activities are organized in collaboration with partners from France and other countries and are, wherever possible, reported in IDDRI's publications.

Furthermore, the members of the team are increasingly invited for interventions in conferences and events organized in France and in other countries.
