The Analysis, Programming, Statistics and Historical Documentation Unit (UAP-SDS), which is part of the Directorate General for Public and Cultural Diplomacy, performs analyses and studies, builds relations with research centres on international relations and contributes to the drafting of strategic foreign policy guidelines. In addition, it performs the functions of a statistical office; it oversees the safekeeping and browsing of historical material and archive records and ensures the smooth running of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Library; it organises meetings and conferences, including the Rome MED Dialogues, the main public diplomacy initiative held annually by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
