The Open Society Institute-Brussels is the representative office of OSI and the Soros foundations network to the EU and West European partners.

OSI-Brussels works to influence EU policies based on our vision that open society values are at the heart of what the EU does, as a policy maker and as a funder, both inside and outside the European Union.

OSI-Brussels advocates to EU decision-makers on issues of concern to the Soros network of foundations and programs. It also acts as a clearing house to facilitate collaboration between the network and the various institutions of the European Union, other European intergovernmental bodies, bilateral donors and NGOs.

OSI-Brussels was established in 1997 and has a staff of seven.

OSI-Brussels is an operation entity and does not give out grants. For OSI's funding opportunities, click here.
