Our vision
The political extremes are mobilised, coordinated, and generously funded, too often undermining press freedom, civic space and democratic norms. In contrast, centrist, constructive, democratic actors are underfunded, fragmented, and vulnerable.
This is the moment to reclaim the narrative. Europe needs a counterforce of equal ambition, backed by strategic capital, high-level talent, and a grassroots mandate. This is what we deliver.
Our Foundation bridges think tank excellence with advocacy, strategic communication and deep civic participation, driving change with speed, scale and purpose.
