PROGRAMME

RES Publica festival
Res Publica Festival is our first attempt at connecting everything we find exciting
– the city, ideas and innovation. We debate, argue and operate on a daily basis by
publishing three thought-provoking magazines. This past year we have intensified
our efforts and achieved even better results. Through our projects – New Europe
100 and the Coalition for Polish Innovations – we analyze and promote the direction
of the development of the region; City DNA helps create more informed cultural
policies. Because we understand that ideas have practical consequences.

RES PUBLICA
The world is governed by ideas. We are concerned with those that determine the
shape of tomorrow. Everybody is welcome in the discussion regardless of differences of opinion. Ideas have practical consequences. An honest debate about them
is the foundation of inclusive laws, and simplifications are inherently excluding. this
is why for three generations we have been the predominant voice in the debate
about the republic.
Our flagship publication has always been the Res Publica Nowa journal. It
is a journal of ideas on culture and politics published since 1979. Between
1979 and 1992 it has been published under name of the Res Publica. Today it
is published by the Res Publica Foundation along with separate web publication and other related projects including Visegrad Insight with focus
on Central Europe and Magazyn Miasta (Cities Magazine). Program areas
Along with the editorial work, our team has come up with three program areas
focused on city, culture and politics, which are cornerstone of the web publication. See our activity report City DNA promotes the inclusion of public opinion in
creating cultural strategies in urban centres. It joins the power of making political
decisions with surveys and analysis concerned with culture and its role in urban
space in order to facilitate change in the field of cultural policy in cities through
a series of public debates, creative workshops, networking, academic research
and publications. Free Speech Partnership develops international cooperation
of magazines from Central and Eastern Europe, promotes intellectual exchange
and experience sharing and networks most interesting regional cultural journals.
Central European Dictionary of Political Concepts aims at initiating public discus-
sion in Europe on political dilemmas concerning Central Europe through a series
of seminars, workshops, public debates, articles, thus setting new standards of
describing the language of political debate in this territory.

NEW EUROPE 100
New Europe 100 is a list of outstanding challengers from Central and Eastern
Europe who are leading world-class innovation. NE100 aims to raise the profile
of innovation that is taking place in the region.
The New Europe 100 list is about individuals from Central and Eastern Europe
who are changing the world and improving people’s lives with ideas that scale
up in the digital world. It’s about those who, with their courage for innovation,
new-tech expertise, unique skills, and social outreach, are having a global impact.
This list is both about people and their big ideas. We will seek and bring together
personalities whose actions drive them and drive us to a better future. They are
people of diverse cultural and professional backgrounds from business innovators,
political challengers, social entrepreneurs and cultural animators.
New Europe 100 is organized by Res Publica together with Google, Visegrad Fund,
Financial Times and dozens of institutions from the region.
