Our team

Teamwork begins by building trust, alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.

Our public oriented institution is created by skillful policy analysts having background all in political science, sociology, and legal science.

Bratislava Policy Institute team has long-term experiences with preparing, conducting, and elaborating research and work with quantitative and qualitative data. We collaborated with most of those that are focused on social research – Focus agency, AKO agency, GFK agency, and Markant agency.
