We are an independent, private, non-profit Center for European Studies, founded in 2014. We promote knowledge and dissemination of issues related to Italian and European relations in the broadest sense of the term, particularly concerning their political-cultural, economic, institutional, and strategic aspects, in order to contribute to the advancement of European integration and multilateral cooperation. Our goal is to strengthen democratic freedoms, economic progress, and social justice.
Let us imagine a world of democratic freedoms, of solidarity-based and sustainable development through European integration and multilateral cooperation.
The activity is characterized by discussion and in-depth analysis of strategic issues for contemporary society, as well as the exchange of knowledge, information, and values, focusing on the most pressing problems and challenges in politics, economy, culture, and society.
In the context of promoting the "Italy System" at the European level, we gather the needs of the productive, industrial, and associative sectors, representing their interests before Italian and European government institutions. Our goal is to take the necessary actions to seek political support, propose legislative initiatives, and modify legislative procedures.
We prioritize closed-door discussions and debates, ensuring absolute confidentiality and freedom of expression. We foster interpersonal relationships and enable an effective update on the topics under discussion, providing a neutral ground to discuss strategic issues and envision possible solutions. To this end, we organize periodic Policy Meetings for economic actors, designed to explore and analyze key issues in Italian and European political and economic affairs. These meetings offer exclusive opportunities for debate with high-level Italian and European figures.
We encourage legislative innovation, promote youth participation in the Italian and European reform process, and contribute to the development of a young and competent leadership class.
