European Council on Foreign Relations

“Three distinctive elements define ECFR's activities: 1) A pan-European Council of over three hundred members - politicians, decision-makers, thinkers and business leaders from across Europe - which meets once a year as a full body. Members provide ECFR staff with advice and feedback and assist ECFR's activities. The Council is chaired by Carl Bildt, Lykke Friis and Norbert Roettgen; 2) A physical presence in Berlin, London, Madrid, Paris, Rome, Sofia, Warsaw and Washington. The offices are platforms for research, debate, and advocacy; 3) A team of distinguished policy entrepreneurs to link cutting edge research to practical pan-European policy through five programmes – Africa, Asia, Middle East and North Africa, European Security and the European Power.”
