The Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung European Union represents the Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung in relation to European and international institutions, associations, non-governmental organisations, and media based in Brussels. Main areas of our activities are European policies, along with energy and climate policy, and the promotion of democracy and human rights. We work in close collaboration with the other offices of the Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung, emphasising the European vantage point of our activities. In addition, the office is a main point of contact for individuals and groups from Europe and around the world interested in politics, helping people understand European politics and policies and highlighting political involvement.
