At the forefront of democracy-building in Ukraine since 1994, the International Centre for Policy Studies (ICPS) is a leading independent Ukrainian think-tank. Established as an initiative of the Open Society Institute, ICPS strives to contribute to the implementation of a robust framework for the country’s economic, social and foreign policies in line with emerging European realities.

In this, our 15th year, ICPS has gone from proclaiming the importance of public policy approaches in Ukraine to introducing them into practice. Today ICPS’s mission is to assist further democratization and modernization of Ukraine through assertive and deliberate Europeanization. In this task we rely on our outstanding analytical capabilities, our active approach to policymaking, and our well-balanced facilitation of policy dialogue among major stakeholders.
