DEFINING THE IDEAS THAT SHAPE EUROPE.
ABOUT US
Who we are
Established by former MEP Dan Dalton and former EU Secretary General Neva Sadikoglu-Novaky, our think tank focuses on unlocking the potential of free markets and free people to power a more prosperous and safer Europe. This includes generating ideas for the future architecture of the continent from a free market perspective. Our team brings their policy expertise, judgement and robust network to their research, analysis and recommendations. We organise events, publish and make media appearances that aim to increase awareness, knowledge and prominence of key policy issues with relevant decision-makers and the public.
Our purpose is to define the future of Europe, including the UK, EU, EU candidate countries, EFTA. Emphasising evidence-based research, we focus on creating a constructive dialogue among stakeholders across Europe.
