Goals / Remit
Re-Imagine Europa (RIE) is a non-partisan think-tank founded by President Valéry Giscard d’Estaing as the first “incubator” for new political ideas, in honour of his partnership and friendship with Chancellor Helmut Schmidt and their efforts to define a future that goes beyond personal, national or partisan interests.
Working in collaboration with an international network of members, strategic partners and knowledge partners, RIE strives for an interdisciplinary approach to its research, aided by an in-house narrative team led by leading social psychologists.
The objective of Re-Imagine Europa is to reinforce Europe’s role as a global leader in the areas of democratic practice, fiscal responsibility, and environmental sustainability in order to safeguard a prosperous future of peace, freedom, and social justice for all citizens.Main EU files targeted

Examples of these workshops include:

We also produce reports resulting from the workshops and activities we host. Recent examples include:
- Democracy in a Digital Society
- Genome Editing in Agriculture – Implications for Society
- White Paper on the Regulation of Genome Editing in Agriculture
- Beyond the Apple of Discord: Existing Narratives and Ways Forward
- The Rome Declaration on Media Ecology and Technology Diplomacy
Another aspect of the work we do includes working with media, data scientists, and cognitive scientists to better understand public discourse, how information spreads on social media, the level of penetration of evidence in public discourse, and what narratives are used in framing the European dialogue. The exercise aims to better understand European public discourse in its nuances and find ways to work with media and other organisations to ensure a more robust and evidence-based discussion.Other activities

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.
