The Vice Chancellor Prof Shantishree D Pandit, herself a renowned scholar of IR, has made this significant appointment as SIS begins the celebrations of the 70th year of its founding.

Both External Affairs Minister Dr Jaishankar and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman are alumni of the School.

In October, the School is planning an academic conference of global thought leaders on non-western traditions of International Relations, which will showcase Bhartiya thinking on IR. The School will produce monthly policy briefs and provide exclusive media backgrounders to showcase its expertise at a time when the NCR has seen a mushrooming of think tanks on foreign policy and security. SIS is reasserting itself and reclaiming its place as Asia’s finest centre of Knowledge Production & Knowledge Transfer on International Relations.

Before being appointed Dean, Prof Amitabh Mattoo was Professor and Chair of the Centre for International Politics, Organization and Disarmament at SIS. He was also concurrently Honorary Professor at the University of Melbourne (founder CEO of the Australia Institute) and Deputy Chair of the German Institute of Global & Area Studies.
