Partners
The Institute for Knowledge, Research, and Society collaborates with universities, research centers, public institutions, and non-governmental organizations to advance research, education, and policy-relevant analysis.
Partnerships at IKRS are grounded in shared commitments to intellectual rigor, ethical responsibility, and public value. The Institute does not engage in partisan advocacy or commercially driven promotion.
Forms of Collaboration
Research Partnerships
IKRS works with academic and research institutions on jointly developed research projects, comparative studies, and methodological initiatives. Collaborative research may involve shared project design, co-authored outputs, or coordinated use of analytical frameworks.
Where artificial intelligence is involved, research partnerships emphasize transparency, documented methods, and human oversight rather than reliance on proprietary black-box systems.
Education and Training Partnerships
The Institute collaborates with universities, educational organizations, and professional bodies to design and deliver training programs, workshops, and educational initiatives. These partnerships focus on building long-term capacity in research methods, ethical AI use, and critical analysis.
Educational collaborations prioritize methodological understanding over short-term tool adoption.
Policy and Advisory Engagement
As a think tank, IKRS engages with public institutions and NGOs on policy-oriented analysis, advisory work, and consultation. These collaborations are structured around clearly defined scopes, documented evidence, and independence of analysis.
IKRS does not endorse political parties or policy platforms; its role is analytical and advisory.
Ethical Framework for Partnerships
All partnerships must be compatible with the Institute’s principles of:
- institutional independence
- ethical research and data practices
- inclusivity and pluralism
- transparency of methods
IKRS reserves the right to decline or discontinue collaborations that compromise these principles.
Institutional Support and Sponsorship
The Institute welcomes institutional support aligned with its mission and ethical standards, including grants, project-based funding, and collaborative agreements. Financial support does not confer influence over research design, analytical outcomes, or publications.
