• Streamlining members’ access to funds outside Ukraine;
• Facilitating the development of new policy and research-related projects.

The Office holds representative role of Ukrainian think tanks in Brussels within its mandate given by its members. The Office represents Ukrainian think tanks and creates a permanent platform for their work in Brussels and the EU states.
