European Think Tanks Group

ECDPM has been a longstanding member of the European Think Tanks Group (ETTG), a network created in 2010. By combining efforts, the participating think tanks – each located in a different EU member state – hope to gain a stronger voice on EU development and foreign policy and international cooperation. The ETTG secretariat is based at ECDPM.
