The rating results reflect international appreciation of our partners making RIAC pleased that our engagement has contributed to their high standing. Many RIAC experts who participated in its international projects work in the above mentioned think tanks, which only underlines the significance and mutual benefits of cooperation that should hopefully continue this year.

The University of Pennsylvania Report ranks RIAC second best among the new think tanks ahead of its counterparts from Argentina, Egypt, Morocco, the U.S. and South Africa, and also 35th in the Think-to-Watch international category.

RIAC is grateful to all its partners and hopes that this year our joint efforts will strengthen the positions of Russian think tanks in the international expert community.
