Established in 1993 as an independent non-profit public policy research institute. EIOSR’s research and public communication programs focus on the key issues of Estonian social and political development:

  • building a free market economy and open civil society
  • enhancing social stability and integration of minority groups
  • promoting Estonia’s integration into European and world structures
EIOSR’s first effort was the Estonian translation of Milton Friedman’s book Capitalism and Freedom in early 1994. Current EIOSR projects include promoting the idea of philanthropy to local businesses and elaborating future scenarios concerning the integration of the Russian minority into Estonian society.

Website includes details of research projects, publications and staff in both Estonian and English.
