What is Kalevi Sorsa Foundation?
Kalevi Sorsa Foundation is a social democratic think tank.
A living democracy necessitates plural but well justified perspectives. Making the future requires unprejudiced attitude and new visions. Kalevi Sorsa Foundation was founded in 2005 to, for its part, meet these demands.
Kalevi Sorsa Foundation’s aim is to encourage public debate that promotes equality and democracy. KSF produces relevant information for public debate, policy preparations and political decision-making, by organising debates, seminars and through its own research and publications.
KSF’s research and development projects focus on issues that are topical and central to future of the Welfare State. Kalevi Sorsa Foundation aims to promote public, ideological and political debate and exchange of ideas as well as bring forth new ideas and innovative solutions.
