Building a world
where policies work
PPMI is a leading European research and policy analysis centre. We help public sector and civil society leaders from around the world by presenting evidence in a way that is simple, clear and ready to use. We are a trusted partner, providing actionable insights, facilitating shared understanding among stakeholders, and supporting positive and lasting change.
PPMI goes the extra mile, consistently delivering work of the highest quality. Our methodologies and approaches represent the state of the art. We are experts in implementing complex field research, ranging from hundreds of interviews to international surveys with tens of thousands of respondents. We employ a wide variety of methods for data mining and analysis. All of this is made possible by an in-house team of dedicated researchers with backgrounds in political science, economics, sociology, philosophy, mathematics and computer science. Our researchers come from a variety of countries, and have backgrounds in academia, business and public service.
We collaborate with the best peers: leading public research institutes, prominent universities, market and data analysis companies, and software developers. Acting as a bridge between the private and public sectors, we employ the latest knowledge and cutting-edge expertise to solve complex challenges. By bringing together open-minded thinking, data, evidence and experimentation, PPMI connects ideas and experiences to build a world where policies work.
