EuropeHelsinki

EuropeHelsinki is a nonprofit organization based in Helsinki, Finland, focused on promoting European cooperation, innovation, and cultural exchange. It was founded by a coalition of universities, research institutes, cultural organizations, and civic groups, and coordinates programs that connect policy, academia, and civil society across Europe. Its work centers on three pillars: policy research and dissemination; public programming and education; and international collaboration.

Key activities include an annual EuropeSummit conference in Helsinki that brings together policymakers, researchers, and business leaders to discuss European integration, digital governance, and sustainable development; a EuropeHelsinki Fellows program supporting researchers and practitioners in joint projects; and a European Culture Week that showcases arts and heritage across member networks. The organization also publishes policy briefs, reports, and translations of research for broader audiences.

Governance is provided by a board of directors with representatives from academia, government, and civil society, along with an executive director who manages daily operations and program strategy. EuropeHelsinki collaborates with European partners, universities, and public authorities and receives support from a mix of grants, sponsorships, and project funds. The organization is described as a neutral platform emphasizing dialogue, open data, and inclusive participation. It has earned recognition for bridging academic research and public discourse, while facing sustainability challenges common to non-profits operating across multiple countries.
