The Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom Europe (FNF Europe) has offices in Brussels, Geneva, Madrid, Prague and Vilnius. Through our work, we seek to actively encourage the political debate and develop innovative liberal policies in Europe. A lively dialogue is based on tolerance and mutual understanding. Our activities aim at promoting these basic values through intercultural exchange. We also serve as liberal platforms for the Foundation’s worldwide partners to debate issues of the European agenda, in the present and the future. For media representatives and conference organisers, our team in Europe and its network serve as a reservoir for opinion editorials, commentaries and competent speakers.
The vision of a Europe of freedom, diversity and opportunities inspires our work at FNF Europe. More than ever, we face multiple global challenges that require European answers. These range from the economic and financial crisis over rising euro scepticism and migration flows to climate change. We therefore monitor political and policy developments both in our project countries and at the European level.
Through the connection of EU experts, civil society, and decision-makers we seek to foster open dialogue and discuss liberal policy solutions to European challenges. Together with our liberal partners, we develop formats and campaigns to promote rule of law, free markets and human rights. Moreover, we coordinate EU co-funded projects in democracy support, development cooperation and human rights protection.
