The Society of European Future (SEF) is an independent think tank and community interest company committed to advancing knowledge, collaboration, and leadership on the issues shaping Europe and the wider world.
The Society of European Future (SEF) is an independent think tank and community interest company based in the UK. We are dedicated to bringing knowledge, dialogue, and opportunity to students, young professionals, and the wider public through direct talks, panel discussions, and educational events. Our goal is to foster a future Europe that benefits everyone, where every individual can contribute meaningfully to society.
“There can therefore be not a moment’s respite in our efforts to build a stronger and more united Europe.”
Jean-Claude Juncker
SEF was founded by Volodymyr and Oleksandr, who share a deep passion for Europe’s political, economic, and social development. Volodymyr’s background in economics and politics, combined with Oleksandr’s expertise in diplomacy and national security, creates a unique foundation for the organization.
The idea for SEF was inspired by firsthand experiences — including a panel with Jukka Siukusari, Ambassador of Finland, which offered an invaluable perspective on how Finland transformed its economy after a crisis. Experiencing knowledge shared directly from experts reinforced our mission: to make such insights accessible to everyone.
