Eastwest European Institute

The Eastwest European Institute is an independent organization specialized in geopolitical analysis, organization of scientific events and training projects focused on international affairs and global dynamics, for students and professionals.

Who we are

Eastwest European Institute (EWEI) is the result of the merger between two success stories:

  • The established and innovative experience of Associazione Diplomatici, an NGO with special consultative status in the United Nations Economic and Social Council, which has trained more than 30,000 students coming from more than 100 countries, since 2000 (www.diplomatici.it)
  • Eastwest magazine, since July 2004, is the only European geopolitical magazine distributed – in the English version – outside its country of production (www.eastwest.eu):
    23 countries for the printed edition. More than 50 countries for the online version (daily updated with articles and editorials)

What we do

Eastwest European Institute (EWEI) bases all its projects and activities on the anglo-american method of learning-by-doing.


Our activities: training, publishing, scientific events
Our challenge: more innovative, more influential, more international
Our goal: not to distribute dividends but to consolidate:

  • Independence and innovation
  • Sustainability and reputation
  • A fulfilling work environment for more than 200 professionals.

Partnership

eastwest

eastwest, the most critical axis around which the current conflicts on the planet revolve, seen from a European and Mediterranean vantage point, an alternative to the prevailingly Anglo-American approach. With constant attention being paid to the relationship between politics, economics, finance, geography and society. In essence, a different take on geopolitics.

Associazione Diplomatici

Associazione Diplomatici è una ONG con status consultivo speciale presso il Consiglio Economico e Sociale delle Nazioni Unite. Dal 2000 ad oggi, attraverso una formazione complementare a quella scolastica e universitaria, ha preparato oltre 30.000 studenti di tutto il mondo sui temi dell’attualità e delle carriere internazionali i quali hanno poi preso parte ai Forum internazionali organizzati da AD alle Nazioni Unite o in altri contesti istituzionali in Italia e all’estero.
