Networking
Affiliation
ELIAMEP is an active member of several international networks, such as New Pact for Europe, Open European Dialogue, Euro-Mediterranean Study Commission (EuroMeSCo), Arab Reform Initiative (ARI), European Policy Institutes Network (EPIN), European Expert Network on Culture and the Audiovisual (EENCA), EU Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Consortium (EUNPD), OSCE Network of Think Tanks and Academic Institutions, Europe’s People’s Forum (EPF), European Cyber Agora, European Security and Defence College, Think Tank Network on the Eastern Partnership, Schuman Network, Transatlantic Periscope και United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN).
Member organisations
ELIAMEP is governed by a 15-member Board of Directors, consisting of distinguished individuals from various professional backgrounds. Its BoD has also established an International Advisory Board, comprising eminent personalities from around the world, who contribute to the strengthening of ELIAMEP’s European and international presence. The Board of Directors receives advice on strategic issues by the Honorary Council. ELIAMEP also crucially relies on its Advisory Committee, which helps the Foundation plan its future direction and activities. ELIAMEP engages a substantial number of highly qualified researchers, research associates and interns affiliated on the basis of specific projects, headed by the Director General, as well as a smaller team of experienced administrative staff, headed by the Deputy Director.
ELIAMEP is mainly financed by the implementation of competitive research programmes (primarily funded by the European Commission and secondarily by other institutions and organisations), as well as the private sector. ELIAMEP maintains a well-established and extensive international cooperation network with research institutions and think tanks abroad. ELIAMEP does not rely on government funding since 2008. Before 2008, government funding had never exceeded 25-30% of the overall ELIAMEP budget, and was mainly related to the implementation of specific programmes and studies.
ELIAMEP’s sole property is its privately-owned offices (sponsored by A.G Leventis Foundation and Stavros S. Niarchos Foundation), hosting a steadily increasing number of researchers. The renovation of the conference room was financed exclusively by Raycap.
ELIAMEP has created Research Chairs, funded through high-profile sponsorships, such as by Ioannis F. Costopoulos Foundation and A.G. Leventis Foundation. ELIAMEP has also hosted research positions supported by the Bodossaki Foundation and Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC). These sponsorships contribute significantly to ELIAMEP’s efforts to support young scientists of international calibre and to actively participate in international networks and European Union programmes.
Moreover, ELIAMEP’S recent programmes and activities have been supported by public and private organisations in Greece and abroad, such as the General Secretariat for Research and Technology, the European Commission Representation in Greece, NATO’s Public Diplomacy Division, the Council of Europe, the European Parliament, the European Science Foundation, the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung, the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, the German Marshall Fund of the United States, Stiftung Mercator, as well as the EEA Grants 2014-2021.
The Stavros S. Niarchos Foundation and the Central Bank of Greece have supported the operation of ELIAMEP’s “Crisis Observatory” and have significantly contributed to the foundation’s overall operations. The support of the Alexander S. Onassis Foundation, the National Bank of Greece, TITAN Group, OTE SA, S&B Industrial Minerals S.A., the Lilian Voudouri Foundation and Efthymiadis Group in Thessaloniki have been especially important for ELIAMEP’s effective operation and implementation of specific activities.
Captain Vassilis and Carmen Constantakopoulos Foundation, Chrysanthy and George Demos, Fourlis Group and MYTILINEOS S.A. have supported ELIAMEP’s Turkey Programme.
In 2004 ELIAMEP launched its Institutional Subscription Programme, allowing companies, business associations, embassies and other similar institutions to support the continuation and further development of the Foundation’s work. -

The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
