Prague Society for International Cooperation

The Prague Society for International Cooperation is a Prague-based non-governmental organization that originated in Communist Central Europe, when political dissidents joined forces to oppose their respective regimes.

Several of its members were imprisoned during the communist era and the Prague Society officially became a registered NGO in 1997 under President Václav Havel.

It brings people together to share knowledge and experiences, and develop a new generation of responsible, well-informed leaders and thinkers.

It promotes a global approach to business, politics, and academia through transparent networking and off the record dialogue.

The Prague Society works in conjunction with the Global Panel Foundation with which it hosts the Hanno R. Ellenbogen Citizenship Award given annually since the year 2000.
