ResPublica

ResPublica contributes to the scientific and research activities of the Institute of Communication Studies (ICS) by publishing analyses on current topics and issues that are at the centre of the public debate and policy-making in the country. It promotes ideas and solutions related to the needs of the public sector and the industry, and builds a thorough research base that can be used for educational purposes.Through producing content for blogs, video, audio and video podcasts, ResPublica creates a professional network of professors, analytics, researchers, journalists, citizens' activists, experts from various backgrounds, public officials, and students that analyse questions of public interest.According to project coordinator Bojan Georgievski, ResPublica assesses and presents unbiased information based on facts, and includes independent opinions from the academic and expert community. "Its collaborators are professionals who are experts in their areas and influence the creation of the policies. This way, the public can form opinions and bring decisions in an informative way," Georgievski said.ResPublica is a free resource; all citizens can freely read, comment, share, and republish according to its rules. ResPublica finances itself through grants and has no additional revenue streams.
