»The Mr. Hans van Mierlo Stichting works as a broker of knowledge, expertise and ideas for the Dutch Liberal Democratic Party D66 (Democraten 66).
With three staff members, the main focus of our work is to deepen and develop our liberal-democratic (also often called social-liberal) thinking.
Our foundation was originally founded in the 1970s, when it served as a traditional research centre. At the turn of the 20th century, our approach changed to that of a broker, but our aim has remained the same: to generate concepts and ideas that strengthen the intellectual profile of D66 and to be a place where political thinkers can look at societal developments in a more considered manner.
Nowadays, the organisation employs dozens of volunteers, working on projects varying from very concrete policy advice to fundamental studies of the basic social-liberal principals of D66. We also publish a magazine, called Idee.
Furthermore, we act as secretary to D66’s permanent programme committee, which is charged with writing the party programmes for both national and European elections. It is in this arena that the link is forged between ideological awareness and everyday practice.«[1]
