The strength of ETTG is based on the multidisciplinary expertise of over 400 researchers, covering the EU’s comprehensive external action and international cooperation agenda. ETTG members share a strong belief in collective action to achieve global public goods. As independent think tanks, ETTG members systematically connect with the policymaking world at the level of the EU institutions and member states, with a broad range of civil society actors, through practical research and analysis, and by organising debates, workshops and high-level events.
