International Organisations Research Institute (IORI) was set up in 2005. Within the framework of its projects the Institute studies the role of the international institutions and regimes, regional organisations and alliances in governing the global economic, social and political processes. It focuses on the G8 and its role in performing the functions of collective governance and reconciling domestic and international pressures, the modes and tools of G8 - international multilateral institutions (WTO, World Bank, OECD) interaction in the emerging multi-level governance system.

The Institute established the G8 Research Team, which in close coordination with the G8 Information Center of the University of Toronto carried out and released the Gleneagles Compliance Report 2005 for Russia in 2006. The report can be found on the HSE and UoT G8 Information center web-sites respectively: http://www.iori.hse.ru/g8; http://www.g8.utoronto.ca/hse/hse-findings.html.

The Institute research aims to assist effective participation of the Russian Organisations, agencies, research structures and other stakeholders in the international multilateral institutions, enhance the role and quality of their contribution towards effective multilateral governance.

The Institute periodical  “International Organisations Research Journal” highlights the main analytical outcomes of the IORI research projects as well as activities of international Organisations and alliances, namely European Commission, Group of Eight, Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, World Bank, United Nations and UNESCO.
