The Reports of the Institute

The Institute offers corporations, institutions and its partners studies and expert surveys on demand. It places at their disposal its own skills and offers to select experts, set up work-groups and draw up and follow-up work-schedules (themes, problem-areas, deadlines, targeted public).

The reports drawn up by the Institute for its partners are confidential. Nevertheless, if they so wish, the Institute can take charge of their publication, dissemination and of their publicity.

The « Notes » and « Tribunes » of Thomas More Institute

The « Notes » of Thomas More Institute are analyses, notes on current affairs or on futures. They are written by an qualified expert. Sent out to a carefully targeted public, they are intended to be a working tool for those who receive them (they are concise, to the point, and contain operational and concrete proposals).

The « Tribunes » are open to the best specialists on the essential problem areas of the contemporary world. They can be tools for discussion, exchange and information and shed new and informative light on subjects that Thomas More Institute has picked. Like the « Notes », they are, as a priority, destined for a chosen public.

Thomas More Institute Encounters

The Institute organises in Brussels and other European capitals « Encounters » between an internationally-known specialist or personality and a public composed of decision-makers and opinion-formers. These Encounters are based on the pattern of the Meetings organised by some American think tanks, in which participate a restricted but high-level public. These Encounters provide a means to focus genuine expertise on the topic dealt with, and to disseminate the Instituteís ideas.

Seminars of Thomas More Institute

The Institute also organises seminars on essential topics, which may be political, geopolitical, economic, social, and cultural. They gather specialists, qualified personalities and an interested public who pool their thinking on the subjects treated. They lead to the publication of reports on their proceedings, which are disseminated to the targeted public.
