The agreement will lead to the revamping of the School’s flagship degree program, the Master in International Relations.

IE School of Global and Public Affairs and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) have signed an ambitious agreement to collaborate on training and applied research. The agreement will lead to the redesign of IE’s Master in International Relations (MIR) and sets the framework for a variety of joint activities including speaking engagements by OECD staff and researchers, dissemination of research papers, networking events and the exploration of career opportunities.

This partnership is born at a time of economic and political turbulence. The rise of populism and nationalism is accompanied by a deep erosion of trust in the multilateral system. Emerging technologies are, on the other hand, dramatically transforming production and consumption patterns, transportation systems, the functioning of financial markets and many others. The uncertainty produced by the velocity of technological and social transformation is exacerbated by rising inequality, new demographic trends, environmental degradation and climate change.
