think-tank
Definition:
Odborníci definujú think-tanky ako nezávislé, zvyčajne súkromné výskumné ústavy zamerané na politiku. Ich úlohou by mal byť výskum určitej oblasti politiky, aktívne vzdelávanie spoločnosti, ale aj radenie politikom či vplyv na mienkotvorné elity. Pôsobia ako zdroj informácií, argumentov, ideí či hodnôt. Občas – najmä na Západe – pripomínajú think-tanky akési univerzity bez študentov. Ani politológovia sa však nezhodujú celkom v otázke, do akej miery majú byť think-tanky nezávislé.

Example sentence(s):
  • Francúzsko a Nemecko plánuje vytvoriť európsky výskumný tím – takzvaný think-tank, na rozvíjanie európskych myšlienok na medzinárodnej scéne. - Etrend.sk  
  • Uznávaný slovenský think-tank v oblasti zdravotnej politiky Health Policy Institute organizuje 3.júna 2008 v Bratislave medzinárodnú konferenciu o selekcii rizika a kompenzácii rizikovej štruktúry v zdravotnom poistení. - Obroda.sk  
  • V čase keď európske krajiny zápasia s finančnou a hospodárskou krízou európske think tanky nie sú schopné pomáhať rozhodovateľom nachádzať inovatívne riešenia, píšu autori Stephen Boucher and Martine Royo v novej knihe. - euractiv.sk  

Explanation:
do slovenčiny sa think tank prekladá ako think tank alebo think-tank, ešte sa používa aj spojenie výskumný tím/inštitút, think tank sa mi zdá presnejšie.
