Danube Institute

The Danube Institute is a Budapest-based conservative think tank, founded in 2013 by the Batthyány Lajos Foundation. Our mission is to represent national and conservative values while building bridges between scholars, policymakers, and public figures—both in Hungary and internationally. Through research, international outreach, policy analysis, and knowledge transfer, the Institute contributes to shaping conservative thought. We place particular emphasis on educating the next generation, organizing public debates and conferences, and supporting initiatives that align with our core values.
