The European Leadership Centre (ELC)

The European Leadership Centre (ELC) was established in September 2002 to promote European leadership through conferences, workshops, round table discussions, and research.

The ELC founders believe in the importance of good leadership in achieving heightened European competitiveness and also more progressive and socially responsible European development. They are convinced that our European origins provide a unique opportunity to define a new leadership direction towards more statesmanlike, long-term and responsible leadership.

The European Leadership Centre therefore positions itself as a centre of excellence to spearhead directions and actions for leaders wishing to enhance Europe's capability of playing a critical and competitive role in the world economy and world affairs. It is a forum for dialogue between business, policy makers, unions, and the media on issues related to European leadership.
