The rankings are broken into three sections: region/location,area of public policy research and special achievement.

The final selections will be made in Round III. International panels of expert that will use the collective input of individuals like you to make informed choices for the 2017 ranking of the world's leading think tanks.

After filling out your name, title, institutional affiliation, country and e-mail address, etc. please use the drop-down menu to make your selection(s) for think tank rankings.

Please review the lists of think tanks in the drop down menus under every question to rank the listed of nominated institutions. You can reenter the survey as many times as you like to compete or resived your rankings.
