Direct answers to the questions we are asked most often about the Neo Institute Europa, our work and how to get involved.

What is the Neo Institute Europa?

The Neo Institute Europa is a non-profit research and education organisation registered in Luxembourg as an ASBL (association sans but lucratif), registration number F15340. It publishes long-form policy analysis on European and international affairs, builds educational programmes, and advises institutions on the trends reshaping Europe. Its defining feature is that the analysis is written by early-career researchers rather than established policy professionals.

Is the Neo Institute Europa a registered non-profit?

Yes. The Institute is registered in Luxembourg as an association sans but lucratif (ASBL), the Luxembourgish legal form for a non-profit association, under registration number F15340. It operates on a volunteer model and does not distribute profit to members.

What topics does the Institute cover?

Published analysis falls into seven areas: European affairs and EU policy; security and defence; technology, cyber and digital policy; youth, education and society; climate and environment; international law and human rights; and democracy and global affairs. Recurring themes include NATO and European defence, Russian and Chinese cyber operations, EU strategic autonomy, youth participation in European politics, and climate displacement.

Who writes for the Neo Institute Europa?

Contributors are early-career researchers, analysts and communicators based across Europe, working remotely. Senior advisors support the work and articles are reviewed and edited before publication, but authors remain responsible for the claims and conclusions in their own pieces. Every article carries a named byline and, where relevant, a named editor.

How can a young researcher publish with the Institute?

The Institute actively seeks new contributors writing on European affairs, geopolitics and social policy. Email contact@neoinstituteeuropa.org with a short note on your background and the subject you want to write about. Prior publication is not required; a clear argument and serious sourcing are.

Does the Institute offer courses or training?

Yes. The Institute runs Connected Worlds, a self-paced online course in international relations aimed at beginners, which includes a certificate and lifetime access. It also builds tailored e-learning and training programmes for organisations that want their staff to understand Europe better.

Can institutions work with the Institute on a consulting basis?

Yes. The Institute advises public institutions, foundations, universities and companies on emerging trends across digital regulation, external relations, education and youth participation, turning that analysis into strategies, workshops or training materials. Enquiries go to contact@neoinstituteeuropa.org.

Where is the Institute based?

The Institute is registered in Luxembourg. Its contributors are distributed across Europe and collaborate remotely rather than from a single office.

Do published articles represent the Institute’s official position?

No. Articles reflect the views of their authors, not an institutional line. The Institute publishes contributions to foster informed public debate; while pieces are reviewed and edited, the authors remain solely responsible for the claims, interpretations and conclusions they contain.

How can I follow or contact the Institute?
