Prague Society for International Cooperation


The Prague Society for International Cooperation grew out of the dissident movement fighting communist regimes. Some of Its members were imprisoned. The Prague Society finally became a registered NGO in 1997 during the presidency of Václav Havel.
Its main aims are to promote international cooperation in Central Europe by showing leadership against corruption and abuse.
The Prague Society creates and maintains a network of businessman, diplomats, politicians and academics, who contribute to important policy issues. It organizes off-the-record discussions which allow decision-makers to influence and act upon one another's thinking and endeavors to bring about a new generation of leaders and – most importantly – to give a voice to the unheard.

The Prague Society works in conjunction with the with which it hosts one of the most remarkable events organised by the Prague Society: the Hanno R. Ellenbogen Citizenship Award, given annually since the year 2000, to honor dedication to and achievement in public service particularly in Central Europe. Due to its unorthodox methods, the Society has attracted and retained many international ties around the world. In addition to its international endeavors, the Prague Society also publishes a newsletter that is distributed to the local population in the Czech Republic and other international publications.
