Think Tanks in Germany and Ukraine
On 22 November 2016 a round table on the project “Think Tanks in Ukraine: Strengthening expertise and promoting European cooperation” took place in the IEP. The project was implemented in 2016 by the Institut für Europäische Politik (Berlin) and the Ilko Kucheriv Democratic Initiatives Foundation (Kyiv) and supported by the German Federal Foreign Office. Within its framework, interviews with both German and Ukrainian experts were conducted on the situation of Ukrainian think tanks. These served as a basis for a two-day workshop in Kyiv for representatives of Ukrainian think tanks to develop institutional and professional competences. Following, the participants had the opportunity to hand in policy papers for publication.
Within the scope of the round table, the project and the results of the surveys in Germany and Ukraine were introduced. Furthermore, a selected policy paper on the topic of cooperation between the EU and Ukraine in the field of security by Nadiia Koval, Foreign Policy Council “Ukrainian Prism” (Kyiv), was presented and then commented by Dr. Katrin Böttger, Institut für Europäische Politik.
