Partnership with European Council on Foreign Relations
Think Tank EUROPA enters into a strategic collaboration with the renowned European think tank European Council of Foreign Relations (ECFR)
Think Tank EUROPA enters into a strategic collaboration with the renowned European think tank European Council of Foreign Relations (ECFR). ECFR is headquartered in Berlin and has hubs in six other European capitals. Think tank EUROPA will thus become one of ECFR's central Nordic partners.
Co-founded and led by Director Mark Leonard, ECFR is one of Europe's leading think tanks with a focus on EU foreign and security policy, sovereignty, migration and more.
In addition to her role as head of Think Tank EUROPA, Lykke Friis is the co-chair of ECFR together with the former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt and the chairman of the Foreign Policy Committee in the Bundestag, Norbert Röttgen.
In connection with the announcement of the collaboration, ECFR Director Mark Leonard was at Think Tank EUROPA on Friday to give a briefing on Brexit negotiations, the Commission's ambition for the EU to play a greater role globally, and the EU's handling of the crisis in Iran. About the collaboration with Think Tank EUROPA, Mark Leonard says:
Think tank EUROPA will remain an independent organization and organize its work independently of the ECFR.
The Think Tank EUROPA does not take collective positions. This publication only represent the views of their individual authors.
