Episode 2 | Running a think tank in a changing Europe: Adapting to new realities in Hungary
In a region where democracy faces growing challenges and international funding is diminishing, how can think tanks remain independent, impactful, and relevant?
In this episode, Péter Krekó, Director of the Political Capital Institute in Hungary, shares insights into the evolving role of think tanks in Central and Eastern Europe. We discuss how think tank leaders navigate shrinking donor support, increasing political pressures, and the inconsistent demand for evidence-based policy advice.
Join us as we uncover the strategic decisions, successes, and challenges of running a think tank in a changing Europe, and explore the critical role these institutions play in shaping policy in uncertain times.
