About this grant
The project aims to assist European decisionmakers to change gears and transform their policy thinking from crisis thinking to future thinking. To this end, the Network of European Foundations for Innovative Cooperation will initiate back-channel talks on the future of European integration. These talks will involve a group of 25 decisionmakers as well as 25 innovators from science, banking, economics, civil society, and the arts. The talks will explore how the European Union should differentiate itself in the future and will develop a priority list for European Union policymakers. Registered in 2002, the Network of European Foundations for Innovative Cooperation is an international organization that aims to strengthen the potential for cooperation between foundations at the European level. This project celebrates the network’s tenth anniversary.
