The PPI can support the think tank movement by encouraging the setting up of professional associations across the region to provide mutual support and exchange of information. The recent creation of a sub-regional association of think tanks, the Europe South East Policy Forum, provides the impetus for the creation of further regional associations to support the development of think tanks. It will disseminate this in the form of a discussion document. PPCI will disseminate the report and carry out discussions with the European Union, the Council of Europe and governmental regional associations with a view to eliciting wide support for such an initiative. This activity will pilot round table discussions as a format to encourage capacity building across organizations at differing levels of development.
