The Mission
There is a growing desire among leaders in European
civil­society organisations (CSOs) to challenge basic­
assump­tions, to develop their formal knowledge base
and also to expand their personal networks.
With a firm base in our own frontline research, our aim
is to strengthen and enhance the strategic and analytical
capacity of European civil society organisations and
their leaders.
We intend to be the knowledge partner
of those shaping­the future.
