European Leadership Network (ELN)

The European Leadership Network (ELN) is a non-partisan, non-profit organisation based in London. It works to develop collaborative European capacity to address the foreign, defence and security policy challenges of our time. It does this through its active network of former and emerging European political, military, and diplomatic leaders, through its high-quality research, publications and events, and through its institutional partnerships across Europe, North America, Latin America and the Asia-Pacific region. The ELN conceives of Europe in its widest sense, to include not only the EU but Russia, Turkey, Ukraine and all the countries of the Caucasus. It focuses on arms control and political/military issues, including both conventional and nuclear disarmament challenges inside Europe, and has a particular interest in policy challenges arising in both the eastern and southern peripheries of the continent.
