IEP Director Funda Tekin among Europe's 100 most influential minds

Prof Dr Funda Tekin, Director of the Institute for European Politics, has been named by Europe.Table as one of the 100 most influential figures from politics, business and society. She was recognised in the Think Tanks category, highlighting her role as a key voice in Europe’s policy landscape.

Each year, Europe.Table identifies individuals who shape European debates and contribute significantly to policymaking at the European level. Funda Tekin’s inclusion reflects the strong impact of her work at the intersection of policy research, strategic advice and European dialogue.

“This recognition is both an honour and a responsibility,” said Tekin. “It underlines the importance of independent policy expertise and is a testament to the outstanding work of the entire IEP team in strengthening Europe’s democratic and political capacity.”

As Director of IEP, Funda Tekin has long been committed to evidence-based European policymaking, fostering dialogue between research and practice, and strengthening European networks. The Institute for European Politics is widely recognised as a leading think tank on European integration and EU governance.

IEP warmly congratulates Funda Tekin on this distinction and thanks Europe.Table for the recognition, as well as all other awardees for their contributions to Europe’s public debate.
