The Think Tank Index is a part of the “Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program” (TTCSP) at the University of Pennsylvania that has been conducting research on the role policy institutes play in governments and civil societies around the world over the last 25 years. The pool of scholars and practitioners produce the annual Global Go To Think Tank Index that ranks more than 6 000 world’s leading think tanks in a variety of categories.
