Definition from
civita:
En tankesmie er et uavhengig utredningsinstitutt som gjennom sin virksomhet skal utvide rommet for den politiske debatt og fremme forslag til reformer og nye løsninger på sentrale samfunnsspørsmål.<br />I motsetning til organisasjoner og partier er en tankesmie uavhengig av (sær)interesser og er heller ikke avhengig av å måtte skjele til det neste valg. En tankesmie driver ikke lobbyvirksomhet.<br />En tankesmie har, i motsetning til kommersielle utredningsinstitutter, et ideologisk ståsted som preger valg av tema og innhold i arbeidet, men ikke slik at det skrives med ”påholden penn”. Innenfor tankesmiens ideologiske grunnlag vil det være rom for individuelle synspunkter og konklusjonene er derfor ikke gitt på forhånd.
