The Institute of Policy Studies (IPS) was established in 1988 to promote a greater awareness of policy issues and good governance. Today, IPS is a think-tank within the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore. The Institute adopts a multi-disciplinary approach in its analysis and takes the long-term view in its strategic deliberation and research. It studies the attitudes of Singaporeans, and looks at domestic policy challenges across a variety of fields. The Institute bridges and engages its diverse stakeholders through its conferences and seminars, closed-door discussions, publications, and surveys of public perceptions.
