Institut Montaigne

Institut Montaigne is an independent public policy think-tank aimed at shaping political debates and decision making in France and Europe. It brings together leaders from a diverse range of backgrounds - government, civil society, corporations and academia - to produce analyses, international benchmarking and evidence-based research. Its vision of society is one in which open and competitive markets go hand in hand with equality of opportunity and social cohesion. It has a strong commitment to representative democracy and citizen participation, on the one hand, and European sovereignty and integration, on the other. Institut Montaigne is funded by corporations and individuals, none of whom contribute to more than 3% of its annual budget.
