Freedom. Responsibility. Prosperity.
We are a politically independent research institute commited to disseminating the ideas of the Austrian School of Economics. We are convinced that creating and sustaining prosperity is based on individual freedom and personal responsibility. We make our case to the general public through our events, analyses and studies, and thereby provide promising solutions to the most pressing issues.
Some of our activities are:
- Studies, often together with other research institutes
- The Free Market Road Show – an annual series of events taking place in up to 45 cities
- The European Resource Bank Meeting is gathering think tanks every year furthering cooperation and sharing results and best practices
- The Austrian Economics Conference – presents latest research and enables discussion on every aspect of the Austrian School of Economics
