Contributing to the Atlantic Front and EU Governance
Fundación eAtlantic Fundazioa seeks to make a significant and tangible contribution to the sustainable human development of the European Atlantic front. It pursues this goal through critical reflection, informed debate, and the formulation of actionable proposals. The Foundation is equally committed to strengthening the governance mechanisms of the European Union by promoting frameworks that enable subnational authorities to participate meaningfully in the policy-making process, helping to ensure that proposals are genuinely fit for purpose.
Plurality of Perspectives and an Interdisciplinary Approach
The Foundation regards the integration of diverse perspectives and disciplinary approaches as a core principle of its work. A plurality of viewpoints enables a more comprehensive understanding of the complex social, economic, environmental, and institutional challenges at hand. This diversity enriches analysis and leads to more robust and effective responses. By fostering dialogue across social, economic, environmental, technological, and cultural spheres, Fundación eAtlantic Fundazioa contributes to the development of more informed, innovative, and sustainable policy solutions.
Rooted in the Basque Country, with Atlantic and European Reach
The Basque Country has long played an active role in advancing the vision of an “ever closer union among the peoples of Europe.” Fundación eAtlantic Fundazioa is firmly grounded in this pro-European commitment, building upon the knowledge and experience developed within regional institutions and the broader socio-economic ecosystem. From this foundation, its actions extend across the European Union, with a particular focus on the Atlantic front and subnational governance, while maintaining an outward-looking perspective toward the Atlantic regions of the Americas and Africa.
Collaborative Networks and Strategic Alliances
The Foundation recognises that collaboration and network-based engagement are essential to amplifying the impact and effectiveness of its initiatives. It positions itself as a platform for encounter, a space for co-creation, and an instrument for building strategic alliances among public and private stakeholders who share its mission and values.
Openness and Participatory Engagement
Fundación eAtlantic Fundazioa embraces openness as a core value, understood as transparency, inclusiveness, and meaningful dialogue with stakeholders and society at large. It also promotes active participation as a means to ensure that its actions and positions respond to real needs, thereby enhancing their legitimacy, relevance, and impact.
