Goals / Remit
The Brookings Institution (Brookings) is a private, non-profit, independent public policy research organization. Brookings's 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 more than 90 years, Brookings has analyzed current and emerging issues and produced new ideas that matter - for the nation and the world. 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
The Foreign Policy Program’s research helps stakeholders and the public address the great challenges facing the United States and the international community in the 21st Century. The aim is to support America’s foreign and national security policies, inform the public policy debate, and support the emerging international order in favor of peace, security, and human progress. The goal is to understand the dynamics of world affairs and the challenges they pose to the international community and to inform policies and institutions that promote sustainable peace, security, and prosperity around the world. In the past year, Foreign Policy experts both in Washington and in our overseas centers in Beijing, Doha, and New Delhi examined a range of topics including the rapidly changing developments throughout the Arab world, populism, Brexit, the euro crisis, energy security, military technology, Iran, India, Syria, Libya, the evolving transatlantic relationships, humanitarian aid, and the changing global role of China. The Center on the United States and Europe (CUSE) fosters dialogue on the changes in Europe and the global challenges that affect transatlantic relations. The Center offers independent research and recommendations, and it convenes seminars and public forums on policy-relevant issues. CUSE’s research program focuses on five key areas: trans-Atlantic relations; the future of the European Union; Russia; Turkey; and challenges to democracy. The Center also houses Brookings's specific programs on France, Italy, and Turkey.

Complementary Information
The number of persons at Brookings involved in monitoring and researching 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) has a mandate to foster high-level U.S.-European dialogue on the changes in Europe and the global challenges that affect transatlantic relations, and therefore is involved in the activities described above on a full-time, year-round basis. Other Brookings divisions, and their affiliated scholars and staff, take part in or monitor the work of EU structures and bodies on a part-time basis.Person in charge of EU relations

Brookings does not direct or indirectly lobby the EU. As an organization committed to public policy research, Brookings's scholars routinely meet with EU institutions and their officials or otherwise conduct public policy research on countries in the EU. To arrive at the costs outlined, Brookings calculated the percentage of scholars' and staff time and the costs of their centers at Brookings. All amounts are based on the exchange rate of 1 U.S. Dollar to 0.87899 Euro, which was the market exchange rate as of the last day of the fiscal year (June 30, 2019).
Brookings received 4,074,725 € in grants from EU affiliated institutions in fiscal year 2019.
