Res Publica Nowa

What Res Publica Nowa does

Res Publica Nowa is a Polish think tank and independent public-affairs magazine operated by Fundacja Res Publica, a nonprofit foundation headquartered at Gałczyńskiego 5, Warsaw. The organization publishes analytical articles, commentaries, and expert surveys covering democracy, society, culture, European affairs, economics, and technology, alongside a portfolio of sub-brands including Visegrad Insight (a Central European policy publication), Europe Future Forum, the Marcin Król Fellowship, and the Marcin Król Award for public-affairs journalism. The organization maintains a network of approximately 7 employees and reaches its audience through a digital-first publishing platform, an archive digital library, and structured civic debate programming.

The organization's technology footprint consists of a self-hosted digital publishing platform and standard podcast distribution infrastructure, with presence on Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, and Spotify; no proprietary AI, API, or SDK surface is in evidence. Its flagship recent initiative is the 'Europa na krawędzi' (Europe on the Edge) program, launched in October 2023, which runs closed expert meetings and open public debates in four Polish cities — Przemyśl, Sosnowiec, Radom, and Elbląg — and produces a citizen podcast distributed on Spotify, culminating in published reports that surface Polish perspectives on European policy.

Revenue derives from two streams. The first is a freemium membership/subscription model branded 'Subskrybuj', offering free 'Darmowe' content alongside a paid membership tier (specific pricing not publicly disclosed). The second is institutional funding, comprising grants from the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage via the Culture Promotion Fund and European Union project financing earmarked for specific programs. The customer base spans Polish and Central European opinion leaders, civil society activists, local municipal leaders in secondary cities, and a general readership interested in independent Polish policy analysis; no commercial enterprise customers are disclosed.
