George C. Marshall  European Center For Security Studies

“The Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program (TTCSP) of the Lauder Institute at the University of Pennsylvania conducts research on the role policy institutes play in governments and civil societies around the world. Often referred to as the “think tanks’ think tank,” TTCSP examines the evolving role and character of public policy research organizations. Over the last 29 years, the TTCSP has developed and led a series of global initiatives that have helped bridge the gap between knowledge and policy in critical policy areas such as international peace and security, globalization and governance, international economics, environmental issues, information and society, poverty alleviation, and healthcare and global health.”

From “the largest, most comprehensive database of over 8,000 think tanks”, the George C. Marshall European Center for Security Studies was ranked in the Top 100 for Defense and National Security for six years in a row (2015-2020) and in the Top 25 for Best Regional Studies Center (Free Standing) for four years in a row (2017-2020).
