Martin Pánek is the Director of Institut liberálních studií, Czechia’s oldest think tank, based in Prague.
Martin spent six years in the European Parliament as an assistant to Czech and British MEPs, promoting free trade, decentralization, open borders, and libertarian ideas in general.
Now in the think tank world, Martin has been promoting the same ideas and has pushed the think tank to grow in every year. In the past year, much of the Institute’s time and resources have been dedicated to its humanitarian mission to Ukraine which is called “Operace Kyseláč” (Operation Sour Ale), which has delivered over $ 1 million worth of material to the country.
