New Europe Center presented its strategic priorities

On Thursday, April 19, the New Europe Center presented its strategic priorities for 2018-2020 for its partners.

The presentation has been organized within the framework of the new think tank format – the New Europe Center Club. This format allows to discuss further development of the organization, hear the key partners, and define the focus areas in an informal atmosphere. The discussion of the organization’s future has been attended by representatives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Verkhovna Rada, the Presidential Administration, colleagues from other think tanks, numerous foreign ambassadors, journalists, and representatives of donor organizations.

The event took place at the Metropolitan’s House located on the territory of the National Reserve “Sofia Kyivska”. As Alyona Getmanchuk, Director of the New Europe Center, said,“the place was not chosen by chance – it is a holy place where the history of European Ukraine has begun, not only in the context of dynastic ties or trade relations, but also in the legal sense, and we draw European energy from this place.”

Oleksandr Sushko, Executive Director of the International Renaissance Foundation, in turn, remarked: “For us, there was no question whether to support this organization. I think that among think tanks, the New Europe Center is probably the most effective startup in Ukraine. I don’t know any other example of a think tank that, although created not from nothing, has confirmed its place among leaders in Ukraine in only half a year.”
