PISM
,
Polish
:
Polski Instytut Spraw Mi?dzynarodowych

History of PISM
[

]
PISM was established by the Parliament of the
Republic of Poland
in 1947.

In 1972, the institute gained the right to confer doctoral degrees, of which the first recipient was
Jerzy Robert Nowak
. In 1993, the institute was closed and an “Office of International Studies ? Institute of International Affairs” was created under the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs
. In 1996 the institute was reactivated, this time under the name Polish Institute of International Affairs. PISM is funded principally from the Polish state budget and it works closely with the Polish foreign and defense ministries.
