The Local Government and Public Service reform Initiative (LGI) and the Think Tank Fund have jointly established an annual prize for policy analysis and advocacy excellence to be awarded by the Policy Association for Open Society (PASOS). The prize is intended to reward policy centers for exceptional work, to spur further innovation, and to better publicize the findings of outstanding policy analysis. The first ever prize will be awarded at the PASOS annual forum in Berlin on November 4-5, 2010.
This new annual competition seeks to promote high quality standards in the work of think-tanks — both in the PASOS region of Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia, and (in future years, when more categories are planned) globally. It is held in conjunction with the PASOS Seal of Think-Tank Excellence (principles and standards for project management and quality control in think-tank policy work).
The PASOS Think-Tank Award 2010 will recognize a think-tank that has published a policy study (up to 12,000 words) of exceptional quality. Particular attention in the selection will be given to innovation in the way research or research methodology was conceived and implemented and/or communicated to influence policymakers.
