This is the first and only achievement of this kind among all analytical institutions of Ukraine in its recent history.

The ranking was released by the Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program (TTCSP) of the Lauder Institute at the University of Pennsylvania in its 2019 Global Go to Think Tank Index Report.

In Europe, the Razumkov Centre bested the EUROPEUM Institute for European Policy (Czech Republic) and the Carnegie Moscow Centre (Russia).

In the global think tanks rating (excluding the United States), the Razumkov Centre is ranked 32nd. And among the best think tanks in the world (including the United States), the Razumkov Centre is 44th .

The Razumkov Centre was included in the list of the best think tanks in specific areas of research, in particular “Defence and National Security”; “Foreign Policy and International Affairs”, “Domestic”; “International Economy and International Development”.

The Razumkov Centre is the only analytical institution from Ukraine that has been repeatedly included in the list of Top Think Tanks in the World.

The Global Go to Think Tank Index Report is an annual ranking of the world’s top think tanks, compiled by the Lauder Institute’s TTCSP Program at the University of Pennsylvania.

The objectivity and impartiality of Global Go to Think Tank Index Report is ensured by polling of over 68,000 journalists, politicians and experts worldwide. The TTCSP database includes information about 8,162 think tanks around the world.

Since 2006, James G. McGann, the author of the project, has been publishing an annual detailed and thorough study. This year, it has been the sixth consecutive parallel presentation of project results in dozens of countries.
