Research Independence Policy

At Aviniyum, our credibility is built on the independence and integrity of our research. We are committed to producing rigorous, evidence-based analysis on technology policy, AI governance, public goods, innovation and platform-based ecosystems—free from external influence. 

 

Our independence as an institution stems from the intellectual freedom of our fellows, and analysts. Every publication, report, or recommendation reflects the author’s own conclusions, not the official position of Aviniyum. As a think tank, we do not take institutional stances on policy issues. Instead, we provide a platform for diverse perspectives, grounded in facts and informed debate. 

 

Aviniyum’s fellows and analysts  adhere to the highest standards of integrity, transparency, and research excellence. We have robust policies in place to prevent conflicts of interest, guard against undue influence, and ensure our work remains relevant, practical, and impactful. 

​

 

Independence in research and analysis

 

Aviniyum’s work is guided by principles of objectivity, intellectual rigor, and independence. While we engage with government agencies, industry leaders, academia, and civil society, our research remains free from external control. 

 

• Autonomy in Research: Our contributors have full control over their work—from defining research questions and selecting methodologies to conducting analysis and presenting conclusions. 

• Transparency in Engagement: We collaborate with policymakers, regulators, and industry stakeholders to inform decision-making, but no external party influences our research outcomes. 

• Ethical Standards: We uphold strict ethical guidelines and data integrity policies, especially in areas like AI, digital rights, cybersecurity, and emerging tech governance. 

​

 

Engagement and public policy impact

 

Our contributors actively participate in public discussions, provide insights to governments, and engage with the private sector and start-up ecosystem to advance responsible technology governance. These collaborations are grounded in our commitment to independence and the public interest. 

​

 

Final authority over published work

 

At Aviniyum, contributors retain full control over their work. No external entity—including donors, partners, or institutional stakeholders—can override their findings. We are dedicated to preserving intellectual independence, ensuring our research serves the public good, advances responsible technology policy, and remains free from outside influence.
