<br/> ''year of founding'': [https://hu.linkedin.com/pub/csaba-toth/83/2bb/740 attests to the starting year of Tóth's work with Republicon] <br/> Hungarian: Republikon Intézet <br/> »Republikon Scientific, Educational and Research Foundation (Republikon Foundation) is a liberal think tank organisation based in Budapest, focusing on analysing Hungarian and international politics, formulating policy recommendations and initiating projects that contribute to a more open, democratic and free society. The goal of the Foundation is to promote discussion and implementation of liberal ideas, approaches and policies. <br/> Republikon believes that Hungarian politics can take a turn to the better only if liberal ideas and opinions are formulated in the policy area and the public discourse. Although there is no significant liberal party as of this moment, liberal ideas and approaches can still enter public discourse through think tank institutions. This is exactly the role Republikon Foundation has been playing: independent from any political party but committed to liberal values, Republikon has been endeavouring to shape policy thinking and public debate with its innovative approach to politics and policy. It is the mission of Republikon to articulate new ideas and to find ways of making the values of liberal democracy, human rights and tolerance more popular.«<ref>http://www.liberalforum.eu/en/about/member-organisations.html</ref>
