The “Healthy Future of Slovakia” platform brings together leading experts in health policy, public finance, management, and patient experience to design a realistic, implementable, and values-based reform blueprint for Slovakia’s healthcare system. The team is building the future model through open expert dialogue, megatrend prioritization, and piloting solutions focused on accessibility, sustainability, and predictability of care.

Main Objectives:

• Diagnose systemic problems using the “patient journey” methodology.

• Transform megatrends (population ageing, digitalization, workforce shortages) into actionable policies and reforms.

• Develop a realistic proposal of 5–6 priority reforms implementable within 1–3 years.

• Pilot solutions and validate their impact.

• Engage the public and stakeholders in shaping the target model of healthcare.

A comprehensive proposal for a democratic reform of Slovakia’s electoral system. Systém 2027 introduces a bicameral parliament (National Council and Senate), combining majoritarian and proportional elements, strengthening regional representation, and ensuring a more transparent legislative process. The aim is to create a fairer, more stable, and citizen-centered system that guarantees equal opportunities for all political actors and reduces the risk of power concentration.

The reform is also a direct response to the legislative package presented by the government of Robert Fico, which we consider the most serious attack on the freedom of political competition since Slovakia’s independence. Measures such as restricting party financing, raising electoral deposits, and limiting citizens’ support systematically undermine pluralism, equal opportunities, and the right of people to participate in public affairs. Systém 2027 provides a constitutionally sound and fair alternative to these actions.

Main Objectives:

• Strengthen regional representation by introducing 8 regional electoral districts and 45 Senate constituencies.

• Establish regular Senate elections every two years.

• Reduce the number of lower chamber MPs from 150 to 111.

• Combine majoritarian and proportional voting to reflect both local and nationwide voter preferences.

• Ensure a more transparent legislative process and greater checks on executive power.

A large-scale representative survey of Slovakia’s geopolitical orientation, security preferences, and attitudes toward Ukraine, NATO, and defense spending. The project reveals profound contradictions in Slovak society—strong pro-Western orientation combined with reluctance to invest in defense or actively support Ukraine. The results show that the government of Robert Fico is pursuing a foreign policy contrary to the will of most Slovak citizens.

Key Findings:

• 63.5% of citizens prefer Western orientation, only 19.2% lean East.

• 70.6% support NATO membership, yet nearly half also favor military neutrality.

• Over half of the population rejects higher defense spending.

• Most Slovaks support humanitarian aid to Ukraine but oppose military assistance.

• More than half are willing to accept a peace deal sacrificing Ukrainian territory.

Project Goal:
To contribute to an expert and public debate on Slovakia’s geopolitical orientation, expose the impact of disinformation, and help create the basis for strategic, fact-based decisions.

This project aims to foster collaboration among experts from renowned NGOs, academia, and political parties/movements to develop, address, and implement essential changes in Slovak policy across all areas. The goal is to ensure a competitive and reliable Slovakia, thereby supporting the progress of the entire EU project and securing a better future for its citizens.
Enhancing fiscal management, streamlining government processes, and reforming labor and business regulations are crucial for creating a transparent, dynamic, and entrepreneur-friendly environment. Additionally, investing in infrastructure, aligning the education system with business needs, and increasing support for research and development will foster sustainable growth and innovation.
By focusing on these strategic areas, the project seeks to transform Slovakia's perception, attract both foreign and domestic investments, and ensure a vibrant and competitive future for its citizens.

This project aims to mobilize collaboration among experts from renowned NGOs, academia, and political parties/movements to develop, address, and implement necessary changes in Slovak policy across all areas and topics.
The goal is to ensure a better future for the country by upholding core values such as human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, rule of law, and respect for human rights, which are the foundation of the EU.

We have been tasked by CIPE, a renowned global institution dedicated to supporting democracy and strengthening the private sector, to conduct a comprehensive analysis aimed at fostering collaborative growth between Ukraine and Slovakia by involving Slovak entities in Ukraine's recovery efforts. The joint goal of CIPE and FSF is to continuously contribute to intensifying the engagement of Slovak entities in the reconstruction of Ukraine.

Our goal is to gather and propose positive engagement from domestic and international democratic players to strengthen the efforts of the international community in helping Ukraine overcome the critical situation caused by Russia's imperial terrorist operation, ongoing since 2014 and brutally intensified since February 2022.
