Europe
What we do
Our policy and research work on Europe and its place in the world, which aims to ensure effective cooperation on today’s most pressing issues.
As a global think tank, we are committed to contributing to the future of Europe. We combine research, policy advisory and strategic convening on key priorities across the continent – including migration, climate change, the future of work and digitalisation.
