About the IIEA Brussels Branch
The Institute of International & European Affairs (IIEA) was established in Dublin in 1991. It provides an independent forum in Ireland and a centre for research on European affairs. The IIEA Brussels Branch provides the Brussels community with a forum to discuss the challenges facing Europe and the world. Located at the heart of the European Union, the IIEA Brussels Branch puts members face to face with the leading players behind major developments in the European Union and the international sphere. We work closely with the Institute in Ireland in terms of its work programme, publications and expertise. We organise regular debates with speakers from the EU institutions, Permanent Representations and Governments as well as academics and journalists. There is usually one event per month from September to June.
Membership entitles you to participate in all the activities of the Brussels branch including talks, conferences and working groups. Membership provides you with a unique networking opportunity as events are usually followed by a wine reception so that members can meet and continue the discussion in a relaxed environment. Members based in Brussels are also entitled to attend events of the IIEA in Dublin, as part of their membership.
Individual membership costs EUR 50 per annum (reduced to EUR 10 for Stagiaires/Students) and runs from July to June of any given year. If you are interested in joining, please send an email (iieabrusselsbranch@gmail.com) for the attention of Michael Humphreys (Secretary of the IIEA - Brussels Branch), so that you can be directly informed of up-coming events and transfer your subscription to the following account:
