PPMI is a leading European research and policy analysis centre. We help public sector and civil society leaders from around the world, presenting evidence in a way that is simple, clear and ready to use. We are a trusted partner, providing actionable insights, developing shared understanding among key stakeholders, and enabling policy implementation to bring about positive and lasting change.
PPMI goes the extra mile, consistently delivering work of the highest quality. All our methodologies and approaches represent the state of the art. We are experts in implementing complex field research, ranging from hundreds of interviews over several months, to international surveys with tens of thousands of respondents. We employ a wide variety of methods for data mining and analysis, driving evidence with data-based insights. All of this is made possible by our in-house team of dedicated researchers from a range of disciplines (from political science, economics, sociology, philosophy to mathematics, computer science and physics) and countries, and with diverse backgrounds in academia, business and public service.
In our assignments, we collaborate with the best peers, including leading public research institutes, prominent universities, market and data analysis companies, and software developers. Acting as a bridge between these partners and our clients, we employ the latest knowledge and cutting-edge expertise to solve the most complex challenges. By bringing together multiple perspectives from academia, business, the public sector and society at large, PPMI connects ideas and experiences to build a world where policies work.

In 2021, PPMI’s portfolio included the following list of institutions and organisations. We are happy to foster continued partnerships, as well as dive into uncharted territories.
It’s always a pleasure when PPMI’s extra mile gets noticed by Clients and project partners. Take a look at how we’ve created impact this year.
We are pleased with the technical support provided by the team of consultants under the European Commission’s Structural Reform Support Program. Many thanks to Mantas and Rūta for their great personal contribution to the preparation and presentation of the fact finding evidence, suggestions and response to the comments: this is a very important part of our work, not only in preparing the document, but also in coordinating it with all stakeholders.
I believe that the developed recommendations on how to better integrate LT Industry into the EU and global value chains, with the existing Industrial Digitalization Roadmap and the forthcoming Industrial Circularity Roadmap, will fully be on line with the objectives of the European Commission’s Updating the 2020 New Industrial Strategy and ensure a smooth LT Industrial Transformation, becoming a climate neutral industry by 2050.
It has been a real pleasure to work together and I am glad that in addition to good personal contacts, this project has really brought a lot of professional knowledge to me and stakeholders.
The services have been provided in very good quality and on time and additional demands that emerged during the study have been covered also in a very satisfactory way.
I welcome the extensive information this study provides. It is an important source for BEREC and its Members to evaluate the state of competition and the protection of the interests of consumers in today’s and tomorrow’s digital and communication markets.
Today we sent the final report to the High level group on gender mainstreaming. I wanted to thank you and the whole team once again for the great job that you done in producing this study!
Many thanks for this and all the earlier efforts throughout the whole of the project. You have been a great team to work with!
Let me congratulate you and thank you for your very thorough and comprehensive work on this study. The report is dense, yet very readable and giving that overview of what is going on in EU Member States regarding integration of EES that we were hoping to get. An outstanding piece of work.
It has been a pleasure for me to be working with you and your team. Once again, a big thanks for your hard work and the results obtained.
The report is excellent and very timely, providing multifaceted and in-depth information and research findings on artificial intelligence, and in particular, on platform work, from a gender perspective. This is most useful for our work, as these topics are very much on both national and EU agenda. We also appreciate that the report contains policy recommendations.
We would like to warmly thank you and the whole team for the excellent work done for this challenging assignment linking our worlds of education and transport. The quality of the final deliverables is impeccable.
PPMI has provided an excellent study on a complex topic that will be very useful for the implementation of the European Social Fund+ in the 2021-27 programming period.
Mantas Budraitis and his team were always professional, competent, well prepared and solution-oriented when faced with challenges. It was a pleasure working together and exploring different options to simplify the implementation of the ESF+.
We aim to attract established researchers and rising talent from diverse educational backgrounds. This way, we continuously improve and exchange knowledge.
The work from home arrangement allowed our colleagues to work safely from remote areas, and contribute to projects and internal events at the touch of a button.
Even though our primary office language is English, our colleagues can carry a conversation in a wide variety of languages. Take a look!
Our portfolio of services and areas of expertise keeps on growing. We took a look at the ones that truly helped to shape our year.
In 2021, we continued with our annual sports challenge. Our colleagues competed in cycling, running, and walking, and together conquered more than 15,000 kilometers.
6116 km
840 km
8371 km
90-100 %
With over 1,900 hours dedicated to learning and internal training, we also found time to learn about our mental and physical wellbeing during the annual Health Week. These are just some of the topics we explored:
We’ve asked our colleagues to recommend a book or two that left an impression to them in 2021. From sci-fi, to historical novels, you’re bound to find something for your personal library!
