Studies
The Centre for Eastern Studies (OSW) is a Polish think tank dealing with analyses of the political, economic and social situation in the neighbour countries, Central and Eastern Europe, the Balkans, Southern Caucasus, Central Asia and Germany. We are particularly actively participating in discussions about the EU Eastern policy, energy security challenges, as well as political, social and economic transformations in the neighbour countries.
The Centre has a dual objective of stimulating expert debates and providing information and analytic support to decision makers in Poland.
The Centre for Eastern Studies was established in 1990. It employs around 50 analysts and is fully funded by the state budget.

OSW's area of interests
Initially the Centre for Eastern Studies was concerned solely with post-soviet countries. In 1998 it expanded to include Central Europe and the Balkans. The German Department was created in 2005.
