The Institute of International and European Affairs is Ireland’s leading think tank working on European and International affairs. It is an independent, not-for-profit organisation. Our aim is to provide a forum for those with an interest in European and International affairs. Through an extensive research and events programmes the IIEA shares ideas and shapes policy, providing members with insights, analysis and context to help shape vital decisions about Ireland’s strategic direction, policies and future. The IIEA’s role is to identify key European and international trends and priorities, which will inform the work of Ireland’s thought leaders, decision-makers, and business leaders, and enrich the public debate on Ireland’s role in the EU and on the global stage. With over 100 speaker events per year, the Institute’s complementary research and event programmes equip members with a comprehensive understanding of the debates that will define national, EU and international policy.
