ECIT is a think tank, which aims at developing a holistic approach to European citizenship.

The aim is that it should become a multidisciplinary resource bringing together different aspects of this transnational citizenship – a virtual and physical meeting place for dialogue and knowledge sharing among the scattered community of interest involved.

Main Activities

ECIT Foundation (on European Citizens’ Rights, Involvement and Trust) was established as a public foundation under Belgian law on 3 June 2015. In the world of European think-tanks, it fills a gap being the only one to concentrate solely on European Citizenship. ECIT is becoming a resource of know-how, research, and contacts, but also one of support for civil society organisations, academics and policy makers when they work on this theme. So far, the Foundation has to its credit a book: Piecing together Europe’s citizenship, published in English and French.
