Support & Partnerships
Ceylon Logica Institut für Strategische Internationale Politik e.V. is an independent, non-profit think tank. It equips European decision-makers with the foresight and policy tools required to safeguard security, sovereignty, and democratic resilience. Based in Düsseldorf, with an operations hub in Sofia, we translate rigorous analysis into actionable strategies that have already informed EU and national responses to emerging crises.
Why Partner with Us
We have direct policy influence. Our briefs and scenario exercises have shaped government strategies in EU member states over the past two years.
Transparent stewardship. Audited financials, a board-approved due-diligence package, and full compliance with German and EU non-profit regulations.
Matched-funding potential. We routinely blend foundation grants with public instruments such as Horizon Europe Cluster 3 or BMZ co-financing, multiplying every euro invested.
Policy on unsolicited transfers
To protect the institution’s integrity, we accept funding only through structured, mission-aligned partnerships. We return anonymous or unspecified donations.
