The Institute of Development Studies is a global organisation for research, teaching and communications on international development.
IDS hosts five research teams, eight postgraduate courses, and a family of knowledge services.
The Institute is home to approximately 100 researchers, 70 knowledge services staff, 65 support staff and about 200 students at any one time. But the IDS community extends far beyond, encompassing an extensive network of partners, former staff and students across the development community worldwide.
