The European Independent Institute is a Dutch policy institute.
It was founded by Sander Boon and Eline van den Broek, former members of the Edmund Burke Foundation. The institute focuses on free markets, and is more libertarian than the conservative Edmund Burke Foundation.
The current status of the think tank is unknown. Sander Boon was the twelfth-ranked candidate on the Eén NL party list in the 2006 Dutch general election. Van den Broek recently started the Quid Novi project.
