Think tank - A New Public and Business Activity

Taking into account the social, economic and political situation in Croatia, Europe and worldwide, the Political Science Research Centre, as the only specialized private scientific, analytic and publishing institution in the field of social sciences and humanities in Croatia, has recognized the need for further public engagement. Therefore, in addition to our current activities, we are also preparing to become Croatia's first think tank, i.e. an analytical team of experts which would provide public and business activities (products) in the form of specialized analysis of current political and social issues, such as EU enlargement, Lisbon Treaty, global economic crisis, global climate agenda, Croatia’s role in the NATO, security and stability in South Eastern Europe, etc.

Beginning with February 15, 2010, the PSRC will start publishing brief monthly position papers and analysis of current issues on its Portal. In the next phase, we will offer policy analysis and strategies tailor-made according to the needs of interested individuals, public institutions, as well as investors, managers, business planers and coordinators. The brief, monthly content of our think tank activities will be freely accessible for reading and download, while longer, more detailed and individualized analysis and documents represent exclusive content, whose scope and pricing will be depend on the needs and wishes of interested clients.

The PSRC Think tank primarily consists of the scientific and research team of the PSRC. However, building upon our past successful experience, the PSRC Think tank will also encompass members of the PSRC Forum who wish to participate in this public and business activity. The PSRC Forum is a global scientific network that consists of over a 100 scientists and researchers with diverse specializations, from Croatia, Europe and overseas. Professional competence, multidisciplinarity, international networking and an emphasis on the further development of the information society guarantee the quality and future perspective of this project.
