European Liberal Forum

The European Liberal Forum (ELF) is a European political foundation affiliated to the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Party. Founded in 2007, ELF brings together liberal think tanks, political foundations, and institutes from around Europe to observe, analyze, and contribute to the debate on European public policy issues and the process of European integration, through research, training, and the promotion of active citizenship within the EU. As a European political foundation, ELF is financed by the European Parliament and sponsors representing industry lobby.

Compared to other political foundations in Europe, the European Liberal Forum's independent status is much more pronounced.Gagatek, Wojciech.

Additionally, ELF provides ALDE with the scientific input toward policy development, thus contributing to the European public debate, and it presents liberal proposals and views towards the wider public in EU Member States.
