The Danube Institute was established by the Batthyány Lajos Foundation in 2013 in Budapest, with the aim of encouraging the transmission of ideas and people within the countries of Central Europe and between Central Europe, other parts of Europe, and the English-speaking world. Our most important missions: • establish and support research groups and research projects to interpret and advance current thinking within conservatism and democratic nationalism; • encourage the exchange of scholars, political leaders, and cultural figures through international conferences and exchange fellowships here in Hungary; • engage young people interested in science, scholarship, and political ideas and help them to enter and influence wider public debate; • and in general encourage relevant discussions on matters of importance to Hungary on both a domestic and an international level
