Hello and welcome,

Thank you for your interest in APR Group.

Founded in 2002 as the Advanced Public Research Group, APR Group began as an interdisciplinary initiative bringing together political scientists, sociologists, psychologists, and legal experts. Over time, the organization evolved into an independent policy research institution contributing to evidence-based policymaking and public policy dialogue in Armenia and the wider region.

Today, APR Group operates as a multidisciplinary analytical platform specializing in policy research, public opinion studies, governance analysis, labour and social policy, and societal transformation. The organization combines empirical research, analytical expertise, and methodological innovation to support decision-makers, international organizations, civil society actors, and development partners.

APR Group works with an experienced team of researchers, analysts, economists, sociologists, lawyers, and policy professionals. Using quantitative and qualitative research methodologies including nationwide surveys, focus groups, expert interviews, and advanced data analysis - the organization generates evidence and analytical insights supporting informed decision-making and institutional development.

Our work is guided by several core principles:

  • Objectivity, impartiality, and analytical independence
  • Rigorous and methodologically sound research
  • Integration of traditional and innovative analytical approaches
  • Confidentiality and professional ethics
  • Creativity, adaptability, and efficiency

A distinctive feature of APR Group’s work is the integration of scholarly research, analytical thinking, and technology-driven methodologies. The organization provides comprehensive research and analytical support throughout all stages of the research cycle from project design and sampling to data collection, processing, analysis, and analytical reporting.

Over more than two decades of continuous activity, APR Group has developed extensive empirical knowledge and analytical expertise on governance, labour markets, social development, democratic processes, media environments, and public opinion dynamics in Armenia and the wider region.
