The Diplomatic Corps Institute, registered with the EU Transparency Register since 11 November 2015, positions itself as an independent diplomatic organization with a focus on promoting diplomacy and fostering dialogue to prevent social unrest. Headquartered in Belgium, the institute operates as an academic and diplomatic entity engaging with EU institutions to advance discussions on foreign affairs, mediation, and international cooperation.
Driven by a mission to facilitate productive communication between the diplomatic community and EU institutions, the Diplomatic Corps Institute provides a platform where experts, scholars, and practitioners contribute to policy discussions at the EU level. The organization leverages its academic roots to inform, educate, and influence decision-making processes within the European Parliament, European Commission, and the Council of the European Union.
Key priorities for the Institute include promoting diplomatic best practices, enabling conflict prevention, and supporting EU external relations initiatives. Through events, consultations, research, and advocacy, the Diplomatic Corps Institute cultivates an environment for constructive dialogue between governmental stakeholders, civil society, and EU representatives.
Since its registration, the Institute has adhered to the EU’s ethics and transparency mandate, regularly updating its activities, expenditures, and personnel changes via the EU Transparency Register. Its reach extends to active participation in stakeholder dialogues, policy debates, and high-level discussions relevant to European external and internal security, migration, human rights, and institutional reform. Its recognized status within EU lobbying frameworks enables the Institute to act as a respected voice in shaping EU policies aligned with diplomatic principles.
