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 merge 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, 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 have become

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

Field of activities: training, publishing, scientific events

Our challenge: more innovative, more influential, more international

The goal is not to distribute dividends but to consolidate:

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

We guarantee to be accurate
