ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½

Congress established the Center in 1968 as the official, national memorial to President ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½. Unlike the physical monuments in the nation's capital, it is a living memorial whose work and scholarship commemorates "the ideals and concerns of Woodrow ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½." As both a distinguished scholar and national leader, President ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ felt strongly that the scholar and the policymaker were "engaged in a common enterprise". ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ is focused on continuing our mission to serve as a trusted, fiercely nonpartisan bridge between scholarship and public policy. To deliver on that mission the ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ Center has identified four main areas of for our research going forward: strategic competition, economic statecraft, emerging technology, and regional scholarship. The Center will concentrate on three main activities to elevate the national conversation on these important issues: 

A revitalized Fellowship Program to provide world-class expertise that informs on today’s most pressing policy debates. We will host Distinguished Fellows, highly accomplished leaders on our core issues, as well as Fellows selected through a competitive process and in consultation with Congress. The updated Fellows program will include mission-centered projects in our four areas of research.

Strengthened partnerships that include new alliances with peer organizations, universities, and international institutions to amplify the reach and relevance of our work through joint projects, co-branded events, and collaborative research.

Renewed Congressional education programs to provide Members and staff with accessible, nonpartisan briefings, analysis, and learning opportunities to help them meet the complex challenges of today’s policy environment.
