The mission of the Elcano Royal Institute is to contribute to innovative, robust, inclusive and informed responses to global challenges and governance and to analyse the role of Spain in the world, with a particular emphasis on its position in Europe. The Elcano Royal Institute organises roundtables, conferences and events on issues related to counter-terrorism. 

We analyse the international outlook and assess how major global transformations affect Spanish society. Our objective is to provide ideas that promote and strengthen sustainability, peace and security, prosperity, the reduction of inequalities, democracy, freedom and human rights, and equality between women and men.
