    Goals / Remit

    The Brookings Institution (Brookings) is a private, non-profit, independent public policy research organization. Brookings is a tax-exempt charitable organization under section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Brookings' mission is to conduct high-quality independent research that leads to new ideas for solving problems facing society at the local, national, and global level. For over 100 years, Brookings has analyzed current and emerging issues and produced new ideas that matter. Research at Brookings is conducted to inform the public debate and provide high-quality, non-partisan analysis on the challenges facing an increasingly interdependent world.

    Main EU files targeted

    Brookings is organized into five research programs that focus on economic studies, metropolitan studies, governance, global economy and development, and foreign policy. These programs conduct research that helps stakeholders and the public understand and address on one hand, the dynamics of world affairs and the challenges they pose to the international community, and on the other, how leaders can build more secure governance and economic systems that deliver prosperity and well-being for all. Thematic areas of focus include, by way of example, the intersection of economics and security; transatlantic relations; fiscal policy; the implications of emerging technologies; global education and skills development; financing for development; and multilateralism. The Brookings Institution follows and analyzes developments in the EU and its institutions in order to 1) understand the dynamics of world affairs and the challenges and opportunities they pose to the international community, and 2) generate research and analysis to inform policies and institutions that promote peace, security and prosperity around the world.

    Complementary Information

    The number of persons at Brookings involved in researching, publishing and convening on the activities of the EU varies across programs and from year to year, depending on the research priorities of the various programs, centers, and initiatives within the institution, and the research agendas of the individual scholars.

    The Brookings Center on the United States and Europe (CUSE) specifically covers transatlantic relations, and therefore is regularly involved in research and related activities on EU-related topics. Other Brookings programs, and their affiliated scholars and staff, follow the work of EU structures and bodies as part of their overall research activities.

  • Meetings

    Meetings

    14 meetings found. Download meetings

    The list below covers meetings with Commissioners/Cabinet members/Directors-general (high-level) Commission meetings published December 2014 to December 2024, and the meetings of Commissioners/Cabinet members/Directors-general and officials holding "management functions" in the Commission published since 1 January 2025. Other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may well have taken place, but the Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. All information below comes from the Commission and not from the registrant.

    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.
