Frequently Asked Questions

About the Institute

What is the Neo Institute Europa?

A non-profit research and education organisation registered in Luxembourg as an ASBL (association sans but lucratif), number F15340. It publishes long-form 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. It is registered in Luxembourg as an association sans but lucratif (ASBL), the Luxembourgish legal form for a non-profit association, under number F15340. It runs on a volunteer model and distributes no profit to members.

Where is the Institute based?

It is registered in Luxembourg. Contributors are spread across Europe and work together remotely rather than from a single office.

Do published articles represent the Institute’s official position?

No. Articles reflect their authors’ views, not an institutional line. We publish to foster informed public debate. Pieces are reviewed and edited, but authors remain solely responsible for their claims, interpretations and conclusions.

Research and writing

What topics does the Institute cover?

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; 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?

Early-career researchers, analysts and communicators across Europe, working remotely. Editors leading small teams review and edit every article before publication, but authors remain responsible for their own claims and conclusions.

Every article carries a named byline and, where relevant, a named editor.

How can a young researcher publish with the Institute?

Email contact@neoinstituteeuropa.org with a short note on your background and the subject you want to cover. We welcome new contributors on European affairs, geopolitics and social policy.

Prior publication is not required. A clear argument and serious sourcing are.

Does the Institute offer courses or training?

Yes. Connected Worlds is a self-paced online course in international relations for beginners, with a certificate and lifetime access.

We also build tailored e-learning and training programmes for organisations that want their staff to understand Europe better.

Working with us

Can institutions work with the Institute on a consulting basis?

Yes. We advise public institutions, foundations, universities and companies on emerging trends in digital regulation, external relations, education and youth participation. That analysis becomes strategies, workshops or training materials. Enquiries go to contact@neoinstituteeuropa.org.

How can I fund or support the Institute?

We welcome donations, grants, project sponsorship and programme partnerships. Partners can include EU programmes, Luxembourg public bodies, Luxembourg foundations and international foundations.

So far the Institute has run on volunteer work and its founder’s own funds, so support goes straight into more research, training for young researchers, events and free course places. See ways to support the Institute.
