EPICENTER

EPICENTER, the European Policy Information Center, is a network of nine leading, free-market think tanks from across the European Union. It seeks to inform the EU policy debate and promote the principles of a free society by bringing together the economic expertise of its members.

As a network-based organisation, EPICENTER is driven by the priorities of its members. EPICENTER provides the international cooperation for pan-European research projects, such as the Nanny State Index, or the Timbro Authoritarian Populism Index.

EPICENTER is formed by the Centre for Political Studies (Denmark), Civil Development Forum (Poland), Civismo (Spain), the Institut Economique Molinari (France), the Institute of Economic Affairs (UK), Instituto Bruno Leoni (Italy), KEFiM (Greece), the Lithuanian Free Market Institute and Timbro (Sweden). Like its members, EPICENTER is politically independent and does not accept taxpayer funding.
