Our Research Philosophy
We conduct well-defined and mission-aligned research that has the potential to bring about concrete breakthroughs in critical fields and influence Armenia’s policy, thinking, and actions. We aim to nourish the research by stakeholder engagement and go beyond the elegant analysis of complex issues to provide constructive policy solutions. We remain targeted and focused in our efforts. In other words, our research is well-defined, addressing specific issues, and aligned with our mission.
Our research seeks to contribute to policy considerations affecting the country by focusing on nonpartisan and balanced engagement. Our overall vision is to support a safe and prosperous Armenia in a stable and prosperous region. To this end, we thoroughly analyze the country’s security challenges and offer solutions and ideas for tackling them.
We seek to translate policy questions into research questions and answers into policy questions. We identify targeted research questions to bring concrete breakthroughs in critical policy fields. We diagnose and address limited factors holding back progress in critical fields. From there, we undertake research and convening to unlock significant progress, leveraging our specific skills and assets as an institution.
While our core research is currently focused on regional stability, through special projects we are seeking to develop programs on other critical issues under the broader themes of civic engagement and sustainable prosperity. Our first run of special projects pertains to public administration reforms under the broader theme of civic engagement.
