The think tank world in changing rapidly, with a number of new think tank concepts that are changing the way ideas and policies are shaped and distributed.
The latest example is the Gagra Institute (website here), the world's first digital and fully cloud-operated independent policy think tank. Gagra says it is based on the concept of an "officeless office."
Gagra was founded in Tbilisi, Georgia in 2018 and focuses largely on European and transatlantic security issues.
Its website lists five experts at the think tank, including Beka Kiria, the founder and former official at Georgia's Ministry of Defense.
Donations to the think tank can be made in cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and ZCash.
