EU Matrix is a EU-focused research platform / think tank adapted to the digital age. It combines expert insight and digital technology to provide factual and objective information on how the EU political machinery works. We collect publicly-available information from a variety of sources. We then structure and interpret it based on our experience in order to deliver the unbiased assessments that both professionals and the public at large need to have in a functional democracy.
In this way, we help at quickly filtering out the noise, the personal biases and the inherent stereotypes that sometimes prevent us from seeing trends clearly. We help at understanding where each political entity actually stands on hot topics when European debates take place and decisions are made.
We are mainly based in Brussels (EU’s Capital) and we have a network of experts across the EU and internationally.

We want to service our users by providing top quality research that allows you to easily follow and forecast the flow of events. To do so, it is critical to adhere to high standards of both precision and objectivity.
We employ academic methods in analysing the information, ensuring that the data is correct, precise and representative.
We are independent, politically-neutral and we present the results of our research in a factual, non-judgemental and non-emotional manner, in order to allow our users to make their own assessments.
Where content is being produced using external sources, such as data from other providers, or interviews with / articles by third parties, this will be transparently marked as such.
We hold a high respect for professional ethics and personal privacy. Our assessments are based strictly on activities undertaken by decision-makers while publicly exercising their mandate of political representatives. To this end, we use information that is purposely publicised by the public institutions, political representatives or private actors.

Our users come from a very large spectrum of categories, such as the academia, the EU and national public institutions, political parties, think tanks, the private sector, consultancies, NGOs, media, etc.

We are keen on remaining financially-independent. To this purpose, we have made our own investments and we work on raising the funding we need for maintaining and developing this new project from a wide range of sources, through subscriptions to our premium analyses, customised (upon-request) research, training, presentations and other services. We also accept commitment-free donations and in-kind support. Feel free to contact us if you are interested in any of the above.
