Acesta îşi propune să realizeze o comunitate de expertiză în măsură să articuleze o versiune completă, competentă şi actuală a ideii de interes naţional românesc.
Cea mai vizibilă deficienţă a abordărilor din spaţiul public şi privat asupra subiectelor normal asociate interesului naţional este legată de însăşi definirea conceptului şi a ariei sale de incluziune. Dacă este definit prea larg, acesta devine inoperant, compromisurile şi prioritizările obligatorii în acest domeniu devenind şi ele imposibile. Dacă este definit prea îngust, creează riscuri şi vulnerabilităţi semnificative de planificare şi acţiune politică şi economică.
