Founded in 2000 and based in Paris, Institut Montaigne is an independent and leading think tank dedicated to public policy in France and Europe. Its work is the result of a rigorous, critical and open method of analysis based on international comparisons. This pioneering non-profit think tank brings together business leaders, senior civil servants, academics, civil society and personalities from a wide range of backgrounds. Through its various actions – proposals, evaluations of public policies, citizen participations and experimentations – Institut Montaigne aims to fully play a key role in the democratic debate, by regularly publishing reports and policy papers and organizing events with high-level speakers.
