Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Rathenau Instituut: Dutch independent think tank focused on the impact of science, technology, and innovation on society. Overlaps with TeldersStichting in the policy-research and publication space, though thematically broader and not party-affiliated.
• Friedrich-Naumann-Stiftung: German liberal political foundation affiliated with the FDP. Comparable in mission as a party-aligned liberal foundation publishing research, organizing events, and running youth programs at a larger international scale.
• WRR (Wetenschappelijke Raad voor het Regeringsbeleid): Dutch independent advisory body producing long-term policy research reports for the government. Comparable in producing policy research and reports, though state-funded and not party-affiliated.

Direct peers

• Wetenschappelijk Instituut voor het CDA: Research institute affiliated with the CDA, another Dutch mainstream political party. Comparable in function: publishes policy studies, commentary, and intellectual output on behalf of its affiliated party.
• Wiardi Beckman Stichting: Scientific institute of the PvdA (Labour party), structurally the most direct Dutch counterpart to TeldersStichting. Both serve as the policy-research and publication arm of a major Dutch political party, with similar magazine/library/symposium models.

Emerging players

• Stichting Burger Forum: Dutch policy-oriented foundation publishing commentary and analysis. Comparable as a smaller Dutch publishing foundation engaged with civic and political discourse.
• European Liberal Forum: European network of liberal political foundations that is already mentioned as an affiliation in TeldersStichting's footer. Comparable as a pan-European liberal policy-publishing network with overlapping audience and ideological positioning.
• Liberales Netzwerk: German liberal network/think tank publishing policy commentary and organizing events. Comparable as a European liberal-aligned policy-publishing organization with similar content formats.
