Mission & Interests
Goals: ENC is an independent think-tank that conducts research and implements projects with the aim of strengthening a common European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP), Enlargement Policy and the promotion of a Global Strategy for the EU Foreign and Security Policy. ENC conducts research that aims towards improved dialogue and neighbourhood coordination among EU Member States, EU Accession Countries, ENP countries, including also the ‘Neighbours of the Neighbours’ (Central Asian Republics, Gulf Cooperation Council, Iraq, Iran, and Sahel Countries). Through research publications, partnerships, trainings and policy events – we aim to narrow the foreign policy gap between existing EU Member States, neighbouring countries, and Wider Europe. These efforts enhance shared European values of democracy, security, economic growth, and education, while guaranteeing a stable, diverse and developing Wider ENP. ENC is represented cross-regionally by EU and non-EU members in our Academic Council.
