Core offering

The Institute for Cultural Relations Policy (ICRP) is a Budapest-based non-governmental research and educational organization that publishes academic analyses on cultural diplomacy and international relations, delivers training courses across nine thematic areas, hosts conferences and the Diplomacy & Beyond event series, runs an internship programme, and implements EU-funded international projects (such as Erasmus+ capacity-building initiatives promoting youth participation in peacebuilding). It operates as a non-profit platform connecting researchers, diplomats, students, and civil society organisations around the mission of 'Connecting cultures through dialogue.'

Product overview

The Institute for Cultural Relations Policy is a Budapest-based non-governmental organization focused on cultural diplomacy and international relations. Rather than a unified software platform, ICRP offers a portfolio of interconnected programs: Training Courses covering diverse professional development topics, Publications including academic journals and research papers, Events and Conferences for knowledge exchange, an Internship Program for future decision-makers, and International Projects such as the Youth Advisory Boards for Peace. These services work together to advance the organization's mission of connecting cultures through dialogue and promoting cultural relations policy as a key factor in 21st-century international relations.

Direct peers

• Religions for Peace: Global multi-religious coalition advancing interreligious dialogue and peacebuilding, including youth programmes. Already a named background partner of ICRP in the 'Global Citizenship for Human Rights' project; directly comparable mission and operating model.
• International Alert: London-based international peacebuilding organisation working on conflict-sensitive policy, programming and partnerships, including in the Eastern Partnership region. Directly comparable as a peacebuilding NGO competing for similar EU and donor funding in the same thematic corridor as ICRP.
• Search for Common Ground: International conflict-resolution NGO delivering peacebuilding programmes, including youth-focused initiatives aligned with UNSCR 2250. Directly comparable in mission and operational model (multi-country peace projects, capacity building, partnerships) and a likely direct competitor for the same EU peacebuilding grant pool.
• European Cultural Foundation: Amsterdam-based independent foundation supporting cultural exchange, cultural policy research and intercultural dialogue across Europe. Directly comparable mission focus on cultural relations and policy, with a broader grant-making and convening role that mirrors ICRP's research and partnership activities.
• European Peacebuilding Liaison Office (EPLO): Brussels-based network of European NGOs working on peacebuilding and conflict sensitivity, including EU-level advocacy and capacity building for civil society. Directly comparable as a peacebuilding network that competes for the same EU funding streams and serves similar youth/civil-society partners.
• Anna Lindh Foundation: Euro-Mediterranean network foundation promoting intercultural dialogue and cultural cooperation between EU and Southern Mediterranean countries. Closely aligned with ICRP's cultural diplomacy and youth dialogue mandate and its convening-publication-project model.
• Institute for Cultural Diplomacy: Berlin-based organisation focused on the study and practice of cultural diplomacy, publishing research, hosting conferences and running youth leadership programmes. Operates in essentially the same niche as ICRP (cultural relations, youth engagement, publications, events).

Emerging players

• European Policy Centre: Brussels-based think tank producing policy research and convening stakeholders on EU affairs including external action and neighbourhood policy. Comparable as a research-and-publications-driven policy organisation in the international relations space where ICRP operates.

Broad incumbents

• British Council: UK's international organisation for cultural relations and educational opportunities, operating globally with a vastly larger footprint. Broad incumbent offering cultural exchange, training, English language education and partnerships that overlap ICRP's cultural relations and training remit.
• Goethe-Institut: Germany's global cultural relations institute delivering language, cultural and dialogue programming in over 90 countries. A broad incumbent comparable in mission (cultural diplomacy, education, intercultural dialogue) though with much larger scale and resources than ICRP.
