The Res Publica Foundation was established in 2012 in Warsaw, Poland, as an independent think tank. Its name references the Polish journal Res Publica Nowa, which it publishes as its flagship Polish-language publication. In the same year, the foundation launched Visegrad Insight, an English-language platform dedicated to analysis and debate on Central European affairs. Visegrad Insight grew into the foundation's main international project, producing policy analysis, foresight reports, and commentary on democratic security, economic security, and strategic communication. The platform has hosted numerous events and fostered a network of fellows and contributors from across Central and Eastern Europe. It also runs the New Europe 100, a network of emerging leaders from the region. In March 2022, the foundation published a scenario-based report titled "Western Balkans Futures 2030," exploring possible trajectories for the Western Balkans in the context of EU enlargement, geopolitical competition, and regional challenges. The project involved partnerships with regional organizations and experts. As of the mid-2020s, the foundation continues to operate from Warsaw, with a team led by Editor-in-Chief Wojciech Przybylski. It offers institutional and corporate subscriptions to Visegrad Insight, providing access to articles, reports, newsletters, and events. The foundation remains an active voice in Central European policy debates and transatlantic dialogue.
