Description and aims
The Danube Institute, a conservative think tank located in Budapest,[2] is funded by the Hungarian Government through the Batthyány Lajos Foundation.[1][3]
According to its mission statement, the Danube Institute is dedicated to "a respectful conservatism in cultural, religious, and social life, the broad classical liberal tradition in economics, and a realistic Atlanticism in national security policy."[2]
The Danube Institute focuses on the "transmission of ideas and people" among countries in "Central Europe, other parts of Europe, and the English-speaking world."[2] In its mission statement, the institute proclaims its dedication to a belief that "the nation-state offers the only sure foundation for democracy" and that this "tolerant civic nationalism" is essential for a democratic international world.[2]
The Danube Institute undertakes research, publishes papers and books, and engages in scholarly exchanges.[2] It recognises its primary audience amongst the centre-right, but is committed to dialogue with the centre-left.[2]
