Eve Mägi, the new leader of the Estonian think tank Praxis, has underscored the importance of maintaining a focus on factual dialogue in an increasingly polarized public sphere. She notes that as debates grow more contentious, it becomes essential for institutions like Praxis to remain committed to evidence-based discussions. Current topics under examination at Praxis include how narratives of masculinity affect men’s lives, showcasing her intention to tackle significant societal issues.

Mägi believes that the motivation of top specialists at Praxis comes from their ability to engage with substantively relevant questions and witness the impact of their work on society. She aims to foster an environment where intellectual freedom, experimentation, and idea development are encouraged. However, she also highlights the necessity of a common goal and adherence to high quality standards in this creative process, which she believes is vital for the effectiveness of the think tank.

Moreover, under her leadership, Praxis is poised to navigate the contemporary challenges of public dialogue while striving to maintain its reputation for high-caliber analysis and innovative solutions. By harnessing the collective wisdom and curiosity of its experts, Mägi aspires to create a collaborative space conducive to the emergence of new ideas that could advance societal progress in Estonia.
