Institute for Liberal Studies (Czech Republic)

The Institute for Liberal Studies (ILS) is a Czech non-profit, non-governmental organization dedicated to promoting classical liberal ideas and free-market principles. Founded in Prague, the ILS engages in a variety of activities, including research, publishing, educational programs, and public advocacy.

Its primary focus is on advancing understanding and acceptance of individual liberty, limited government, free markets, and the rule of law. This is achieved through the publication of books, articles, and policy papers; organizing conferences, lectures, and seminars; and engaging in public debates on relevant policy issues.

The ILS often collaborates with other think tanks and organizations with similar goals, both within the Czech Republic and internationally. Its work aims to influence public opinion and inform policymakers on the benefits of liberal economic and political policies. The organization is typically funded through donations from individuals, foundations, and corporations supportive of its mission.
