The Innovation in Politics Institute is an internationally active, non-partisan organisation that identifies, develops and applies innovations in politics - with the aim of strengthening democracy in Europe. The Institute has its headquarters in Vienna and partner offices in 14 other countries. The Institute develops projects and programmes for politicians and political institutions to make democratic politics more successful, such as the Innovation in Politics Awards, Act Now and the European Capital of Democracy. We provide these programmes to politicians, institutions, civil society and citizens, to create impact for the primary mission – to improve democratic politics. As of today, we have established a community of more than 5,000 politicians throughout Europe, who participate in our programmes and provide their know-how and experience to their peers. In all our activities, we apply our unique method: identify best practice, develop core insights and localise them, and implement innovative political work for specific tasks.
