The Budapest Institute produces independent research and analysis to support policymaking, -tracking and -evaluation. The Budapest Institute has a double mission:

• We wish to contribute to public policy making grounded in research evidence that would benefit both Hungary and Europe
• We work to promote the evidence-based approach in public discourse and policy debate.

We are strongly committed to high quality standards, pragmatism, and integrity as our institutional values.

The Institute operates primarily on the following fields:

• employment policy
• social policy
• education policy
• quality of business environment
• better regulation.

It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it. (Upton Sinclair)
