IIEA

ongoing

The Institute of International and European Affairs is Ireland’s leading international affairs think tank. We are an independent, not-for-profit organisation with charitable status. Our aim is to provide a forum for all those interested in EU and International affairs to engage in debate and discussion, and to evaluate and share policy options. The IIEA acts as a forum for dialogue, a catalyst for new ideas and a source of new policy options. The IIEA’s work consists of a unique programme of events, publications and digital media, aimed at improving the calibre of public debate while providing strategic insights to policymakers and business across a range of industries. Its work programme under this proposal will consist of a minimum of 70 events and 16 research publications, in addition to blogs, infographics and other materials aimed at disseminating information to citizens. This overall programme of work will be sub-divided into ten key policy areas for Ireland and the EU. Thus, the programme is designed to cover broadest possible spectrum of EU policy areas, and communicate them to as diverse an audience as possible in Ireland and the EU. The initial work programme would cover the following key areas EU Affairs; UK-EU relations; France and Germany; Justice and Home Affairs; Geopolitics; Health; Digital Policy; Economics and financial governance; transatlantic relations; and a Young Professionals Network event series.
