European Leadership Network

European Leadership Network (ELN) is a pan-European think-tank focusing on European foreign, defence and security issues based in London, United Kingdom.^[1]

The ELN was founded as part of a project by the Nuclear Security Project in an effort to "help create the political space for dialogue, education and action on the vision and steps toward a world without nuclear weapons".^[2] At the end of 2013 the ELN broadened its focus and remit of work to address a much wider range of foreign and security policy challenges facing Europe.

The ELN is currently chaired by former UK Defence Secretary Des Browne.^[3] In March 2015, Lord Browne and former Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov, both won the prestigious Nunn-Lugar Award for Promoting Nuclear Security, in part for their work with the European Leadership Network.^[4]

The ELN specialises on security issues.^[5]

On 27 March 2015, the Carnegie Corporation of New York announced that it was funding the European Leadership Network for 24 months, as part of its philanthropic efforts.^[6]

In 2025, the ELN was declared an undesirable organization in Russia.^[7]

The ELN operates through a network of former European political, military, and diplomatic leaders and supports this network with in-house research and events.^[8] The network itself contains members not just from the EU but also Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, Georgia, Albania, Norway, and Serbia.^[9] Such a scope has as its basis a conception of a Greater Europe similar to that of the OSCE.

In 2014 the European Leadership Network has expanded to tackle broader European and global security issues, including the Ebola crisis,^[10] near-misses between Russian and Western militaries,^[11] and the expanding Russo-Chinese relationship.^[12]
