The European Institute of Peace (EIP) is a Brussels-based organization within the international affairs sector with a Europe-centered yet global reach. It contributes to the European Union's peace agenda primarily through mediation and informal dialogue, employing multi-track diplomacy and serving as a flexible external tool to support EU mediation where the Union has limited freedom to act. The institute acts as an operational hub that connects expertise and shares knowledge and lessons on European mediation. Its work targets EU institutions and international partners seeking practical pathways for peace processes, providing a conduit to mediation and conflict resolution in diverse contexts. As a mid-sized European institution in international affairs, it positions itself as a coordinator of collaboration and learning across mediation initiatives. In March 2026 it announced an institutional partnership with the Munich Security Conference, highlighting a notable collaboration with a major security forum.
