Effective performance of public services by the public authorities cannot do without an expert advisory. Such an advisory should be based on dependable and scientific research work, and not only on a guesswork or intuition. Public authorities need suitable material to make decisions. Decisions that change reality.
That’s why a need for a modern and effective expert advisory appears. Such an advisory, which, on the one hand, is able to independently conduct interdisciplinary research (analytical and conceptual), and on the other hand, to create a public discourse (through participation in the press and media, conferences and debates), and finally, to work closely with public authorities (in scope of consultation and hearings, advisory committees and informal groups).
That is the Metropolitan Institute’s mission. We are an expert advisory organization (think tank), integrating representatives of different disciplines (law, administration, urban planning), profession (lawyers, civil servants) and passion (social activists, volunteers). The Institute is a foundation and NGO which was granted the status of public benefit organization.
