Membership and Funding
Bruegel is supported by a wide array of members which contribute the bulk of its financial resources. The majority of its resources comes from state and corporate members.
State Members are Member States of the European Union, on a voluntary basis. They currently include 19 EU countries, including all the largest ones: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovenia, Sweden, Spain, and the United Kingdom. They are represented by relevant government departments, which typically include Finance Ministries.
Corporate Members are international corporations and firms, most of which (but far from all) are headquartered in the European Union. Bruegel is also supported by a number of public organizations (national central banks and public financial institutions), known as its Institutional Members.
Bruegel has been recognized from its outset as setting a new standard in terms of financial transparency. The full list of sponsors is updated on Bruegel's website, and individual financial contributions are detailed in Bruegel's Annual Reports which are also available online.

Famous quotes containing the word membership:
“The two real political parties in America are the Winners and the Losers. The people don’t acknowledge this. They claim membership in two imaginary parties, the Republicans and the Democrats, instead.”
—Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (b. 1922)
