DIKTIO - Network for Reform in Greece and Europe

What DIKTIO - Network for Reform in Greece and Europe does

DIKTIO - Network for Reform in Greece and Europe is an independent, non-profit policy research organization (Σωματείο/association under Greek law) founded in 2013 and headquartered in Athens. The organization produces policy analysis, research publications, and feasibility-oriented reform proposals on European integration, the Greek productive model, the Fourth Industrial Revolution, AI governance, social protection, water resilience, and digital transformation. Its core 'products' are research outputs (studies, policy briefs, articles), organized events (conferences, panel discussions, Facebook Live sessions), and the convening power of an International Advisory Council that includes a Nobel laureate in economics, former heads of state, former European commissioners, and senior academics from institutions such as LSE.

The organization is led by President Anna Diamantopoulou, former European Commissioner for Employment and Social Affairs, who also chairs the EU Committee of Wise Persons on the future of the Welfare State and sits on the FEPS Bureau. Director-level staff oversee day-to-day operations across research, international relations, and event programming. DIKTIO operates from a single Athens office with approximately nine employees.

Its business model is non-commercial: DIKTIO does not sell products or services, and revenue is not publicly disclosed. Activities are funded through partnerships and institutional collaborations with European think tanks, progressive foundations (FEPS, Friedrich Ebert Stiftung, Fondation Jean Jaurès), EU institutions, municipalities, academic institutions, and international bodies (ILO, World Bank). Distribution of research outputs occurs via the organization's website, newsletter, social media channels, media partnerships (Athens Voice), and participation in flagship European forums including the Delphi Economic Forum and the Economist's Annual Government Roundtable.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Bruegel: Leading European economic policy think tank based in Brussels. Comparable to DIKTIO as a high-credibility independent voice feeding EU policy debate, but with a much larger research staff and broader institutional mandate.
• Chatham House (Royal Institute of International Affairs): London-based international affairs think tank. Comparable to DIKTIO on convening power and policy-research-on-Europe positioning, but operating as a global incumbent with substantially larger resources.
• Konrad Adenauer Stiftung: German political foundation with international offices and policy research programs. Comparable to Friedrich Ebert Stiftung's role as a DIKTIO partner: political-foundation model producing policy research and convening, though aligned with centre-right rather than progressive politics.
• Friedrich Ebert Stiftung: German social-democratic political foundation with offices in Athens and Cyprus, both of which are active DIKTIO partners. Closely comparable in operating model — political foundation running policy research, convening, and progressive-capacity programs — though at far larger scale.
• European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR): Pan-European foreign policy think tank with national offices across EU member states. Comparable to DIKTIO on European affairs and reform-oriented policy research, but operating as a pan-European incumbent at significantly greater scale.

Direct peers

• Hellenic Foundation for European and Foreign Policy (ELIAMEP): Athens-based Greek think tank on European and foreign policy. The closest direct domestic peer to DIKTIO: same city, overlapping research themes (EU integration, Greek reform, foreign policy), and competing for the same Greek institutional and media audience.
• European Policy Centre (EPC): Brussels-based think tank focused on EU integration, economic, and social policy. Closely comparable to DIKTIO's mix of policy research, events, and stakeholder convening around European affairs.
• Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS): Brussels-based think tank producing independent research on EU policy. Directly comparable to DIKTIO in that both are independent, membership-supported policy research outfits engaging EU-level debates, though CEPS operates at materially larger scale.
• Friends of Europe: Brussels-based think tank on European policy and governance. Highly comparable — its founder Gilles Merritt serves on DIKTIO's International Advisory Council — and operates a similar events-driven, convening-heavy model.
• Foundation for European Progressive Studies (FEPS): Progressive political foundation linked to European social-democratic parties. Directly comparable as both a think tank and a flagship partner of DIKTIO (Diamantopoulou sits on the FEPS Bureau), operating in the same ideological and policy space.
