About EUROPEUM’s Brussels Office

Building on a long history of EUROPEUM in Prague, we opened our office in Brussels in January 2016. EUROPEUM has been the first think-tank from the Central Europe to branch out to the heart of the European Union. Our motivation has been to follow the debates on EU policies and politics from close and to contribute to them by strengthening the voice of the Czech Republic and other central and east European countries. At the same time, we would like to use our Brussels presence to boost discussions on the EU back in the region, through introducing research by Brussels-based experts, offering their perspective at local events, cooperating with the media, etc.

The main activities of the Brussels office are the following:

networking and connecting with relevant partners
organizing events
conducting research and publishing
promoting EUROPEUM’s outputs and advocacy

You can find the latest updates, invitations and reports in the box on the right (related articles).
