PRAXIS is involved in several projects funded by framework programmes. PRAXIS focuses primarily on social and economic research; main policy areas include labour and social policy, innovation policy, education policy, health policy. PRAXIS is working closely with top-level decision-makers from parliament and government and is recognized as strong player and partner in the policy making process in Estonia.
