Bandaranaike Centre for International Studies - BCIS

Business

A brainchild of the late, great Hon. Prime Minister Sirimavo Bandaranaike, BCIS was established in 1974 to spearhead Sri Lanka’s knowledge development in the sphere of International Relations. From then to now, BCIS has been able to fulfil the vision it was founded on; To be the premier South Asian Institute for research, training, and knowledge dissemination in International Studies, Policy Advocacy, Empowerment, and Sustainability, by gaining both national and regional-level recognition for the fields of study we engage in.

Having played a monumental role in international affairs through her capacity as Sri Lanka’s Premier, Mrs Sirimavo Bandaranaike strongly believed in the need for an institution that could provide a world-class education in International Relations. Even as far back as the early 70’s, she understood the importance the discipline would hold in a world that was fast becoming one interconnected community.

Thereafter, through a resilient effort, BCIS came in to being in a section of the Bandaranaike Memorial International Conference Hall complex, ironically just two years before the historic Fifth Conference of Heads of States and Governments of the Non-Aligned Nations.
