The mission of the Institute is to cultivate the Czech political and public sphere through professional and open discussion and to create a living platform which defines problems, analyses them and offers recipes for their solution in the form of cooperation with experts and politicians, international conferences, seminars, public discussions and political and social analysis available to the whole of Czech society. We believe that open discussion with experts and the recognition of the causes of problems is a necessary presumption for any successful solution to political and social problems.

The main themes are social change, foreign and security policy, defence, European matters, sustainable development and adaptation to the coming climate change, education, schooling, digitization, energy policy and its new forms, urbanism, life in a city and in a public environment and last but not least, matters of values in politics and human rights in our country and abroad.
