Brussels Office

The work of the Brussels Office of the Hanns Seidel Stiftung in particular gives priority to:

  • The reform of the European Union (in particular with regard to its future constitution) and EU enlargement;
  • The further development of a Common European Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP);
  • The promotion of the North-South dialogue and of democratic social and political values and the strengthening of their capacities in developing countries, in particular ACP-countries and Asia;
  • The consolidation of democracy, of the rule of law and of social market economy in
    Eastern Europe.

The HSS Brussels office was established in 1986. Since then, the office has successfully maintained a comprehensive network of contacts with decision makers, policy experts and multipliers in the EU institutions and other Brussels based organizations. A wide range of contacts with political players and important organizations in Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg has been built up as well. The Brussels Office further cooperates with other political foundations and think tanks and provides know-how regarding European policy issues. It organizes visits of international delegations in order to offer them a first hand insight into the work of the EU through direct contacts with representatives of the European institutions. In February 2004, the Brussels Office moved to its new offices at the Residence Palace, which also houses the International Press Centre.
