About the
Green European Foundation

The Green European Foundation (GEF) is a European political foundation, affiliated to the European Green Party, whose mission – as an organisation and as a network – is to:

  • contribute to stronger, more participative, and pluralist democracy in Europe;
  • act as a dynamic hub for ideas, debates, training and exchange that provides political education for European citizens and like-minded green actors;
  • bridge the gap between grassroots movements, civil society, academics, the private sector and political actors, from the European to the local level and vice versa.

The Green European Foundation aims to develop and promote a Green vision of a more just, sustainable, social and democratic Europe.

The Green European Foundation also operates beyond the European Union and is committed to its non-EU partners.

The Green European Foundations is a feminist, open and free space for ideas that support a better Europe in a better world.

Green European Journal

The Green European Journal is Europe’s leading political ecology magazine standing for an open, sustainable, just, and feminist Europe. Established in 2012 and editorially independent, it publishes articles in print and online that track political currents, ideas, and debates.

Policy & Research

The Policy and Research Hub delivers inputs and ideas to key European issues, while fostering networks for knowledge production, exchange and dissemination through its Knowledge Communities method. It focuses on the intersection of green, social and economic policy, bridging often siloed areas.

Network Development

Steered from Brussels but taking place across Europe, these activities bridge the gap between national-level activism and EU decision-making, and reflect the foundation’s philosophy that the European project should be the result of transnational and open contributions from many groups in society.

Training

GEF’s training work takes diverse forms to support political education across Europe. The Greenhouse is its dedicated hub for cultivating collective action and exploring pathways to systemic change. The European Green Academy, GEF’s flagship event, creates space for learning and reflection across the Green movement.

CALL FOR TENDERS: Policy Consultant on the Green Transition

The Green European Foundation is glad to invite economic operators to submit a tender for the procurement of research and policy advice services with a focus on the green transition. 

About the Green European Foundation 

The Green European Foundation (GEF) is a European-level political foundation funded by the European Parliament. GEF is affiliated to, but independent from, the European Green Party and Green movement in Europe.  

Our mission is to encourage European citizens to participate in European political discussions and in particular when it comes to envisioning what a Green Europe would look like. As a forum for cooperation at the European level, we work with our national member foundations and thereby aim to stimulate and strengthen the European public debate and the curation of lessons and ideas for a greener Europe. 

Purpose of Tender 

The purpose of this tender is to invite proposals from qualified providers of research and policy advisory services to support the Green European Foundation in advancing knowledge and policy development in the field of energy policy as well as eco-social policy, rights-based approaches and wellbeing. The selected provider will be expected to deliver high-quality research outputs, policy analysis, and strategic advice contributing to the Foundation’s mission of fostering sustainable, inclusive, and forward-looking ideas and policy proposals at the European level. 

The provider will be responsible for conducting in-depth research, identifying emerging trends and challenges, and formulating evidence-based recommendations. In addition, the provider will support the Green European Foundation in strengthening its role as a hub for green research and policy expertise by contributing to publications, events, and stakeholder engagement activities, while ensuring consistency with the Foundation’s values and strategic priorities. 

The provider will cooperation with GEF’s Knowledge Communities. Knowledge Communities are aimed at advancing political and public debates towards a green, socially just Europe, through establishing lasting networks of knowledge production, exchange and dissemination. They are structured around and with (a group of) GEF core experts, who deliver a political stock-take as well as new proposals and ideas for discussion with a wider group of actors (i.e. the Knowledge Community).  

The Green European Foundation intends to select one provider for an initial period of one year, with the possibility of renewal for up to a total duration of five years, subject to the quality of deliverables and overall performance.
