International Centre for Policy Studies
At the forefront of democracy-building in since 1994, the International Centre for Policy Studies (ICPS) is a leading independent Ukrainian think-tank. Established as an initiative of the Open Society Institute, ICPS strives to contribute to the implementation of a robust framework for the country’s economic, social and foreign policies in line with emerging European realities.

In this, our 15th year, ICPS has gone from proclaiming the importance of public policy approaches in to introducing them into practice. We endeavour to achieve a broader impact on the country in key policy areas by moving beyond narrow areas of specialization, instead taking a comprehensive approach to generate lasting change in the public realm:
  • large-scale public policy campaigns for different interest groups utilizing methods developed by ICPS;
  • public administration education reform to reach the next generation of Ukrainian government officials;
  • systematic training of other NGOs; and
  • comprehensive policy studies.


ICPS is a stand-out organization, having been recognized in 2005 by the Global Development Network as the most successful policy development and research centre in Ukraine. In 2008 the Foreign Policy Research Institute included ICPS among its top 228 analytical centres in the world from a list of more than 5,000.

Today ICPS’s mission is to assist further democratization and modernization of through assertive and deliberate Europeanization.In this task we rely on our outstanding analytical capabilities, our active approach to policymaking, and our well-balanced facilitation of policy dialogue among major stakeholders.
