European Union
The Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom Europe (FNF Europe) has offices in Brussels, Geneva, Madrid and Prague.
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 the rule of law, free markets and human rights. Moreover, we coordinate EU co-funded projects in the field of democracy support, development cooperation and human rights protection.
