“Das Brüsseler Büro der SWP bildet seit 2009 eine Schnittstelle zwischen der SWP in Berlin und der politischen Community in Europas Hauptstadt. Damit bietet die SWP auch in Brüssel wissenschaftliche Politikberatung zu Fragen der Außen- und Sicherheitspolitik bzw. der europäischen und internationalen Politik in unterschiedlichen, jeweils vertraulichen Formaten an. Dies geschieht häufig in Zusammenarbeit mit den EU-Institutionen, der NATO, diplomatischen Vertretungen, anderen Think-Tanks, Universitäten, politischen Stiftungen, Landesvertretungen, Wirtschaftsverbänden und Nichtregierungsorganisationen.”
