Programmes, Publications and Events
The think tank’s research is broadly divided into three programmes. These are China, Wider Europe and Rule of Law, Democracy and Human Rights. As of early 2011, ECFR is developing Middle East and North Africa programme. ECFR’s fellows regularly also publish policy papers and articles on subjects that fall outside of these parameters, for example on the euro crisis. ECFR also has a major ongoing project entitled Germany in Europe. ECFR publishes individual policy reports, briefs and memos, which are downloadable for free from the think tank’s website. It also has three regular publications, the annual European Foreign Policy Scorecard, started in 2011; China Analysis (quarterly) and the annual review of the EU and human rights at the UN. ECFR’s six national offices hold regular events, including seminars, ginger groups and publication launches, including ECFR London’s invitation-only ‘Black Coffee Mornings,’ at which guest speakers have included Louise Arbour, Joseph Nye and George Robertson.

Famous quotes containing the words publications and/or events:
“Dr. Calder [a Unitarian minister] said of Dr. [Samuel] Johnson on the publications of Boswell and Mrs. Piozzi, that he was like Actaeon, torn to pieces by his own pack.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
“This is certainly not the place for a discourse about what festivals are for. Discussions on this theme were plentiful during that phase of preparation and on the whole were fruitless. My experience is that discussion is fruitless. What sets forth and demonstrates is the sight of events in action, is living through these events and understanding them.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
