The European Institute of Peace (EIP) is an independent, non-profit public foundation that contributes to shaping conflict resolution. It is a philanthropic, non-profit organisation. It provides support to negotiators, mediators and policy makers within Europe. Since its creation in 2014, the Institute has operated in more than ten countries in the Middle East, Central Asia, Africa, Latin America and Europe providing policy advice on conflict resolution.
The institute's Board of Governors provides strategic, political and technical support to the Institute. The Board comprises eight members (Belgium, Finland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Poland, Spain and Sweden) and may be expanded to a maximum of fifteen.[1] Helga-Maria Schmid is the President of the Board of Governors.[2]
It receives donations from several countries through membership fees and project funding from national governments and the European Commission.[citation needed] In 2019, the Institute had a total operating income of approximately €8 million and corresponding expenditure.[3]
