Think Tank Magma

Magma is a Finnish think tank founded in 2008. Magma creates knowledge and initiates debate on topical societal issues such as multilingualism, demographic change, integration, media, and the consequences of structural and economic change. Extensive knowledge and expertise in minority issues makes Magma a leading think tank in minority affairs in particular. Magma supports liberal values and is independent of party politics. Magma’s activities are based on the fact that Finland has two official languages, Finnish and Swedish, and on the understanding that multilingualism and ethnic diversity are important features of today’s Finland and of Europe. Magma performs an analytical function and serves as an arena for discussion. Our studies, as well as our impact and risk analyses, provide a basis for decision making. Magma also organizes conferences and seminars. The results are presented on our website, in our own publications, in articles and at public events. Magma also undertakes comparative studies within a European context and cooperates with think tanks both in Finland and abroad.
