Stiftung Europainstitut Basel (Foundation of the Institute) has been supporting the Institute since its early years. The foundation board consists of personalities from the cantonal governments and administrations as well as from politics and the business sector. The board discusses questions concerning its mission (namely the use of the foundation funds, maintenance of the building, recommendations for strategic decisions). Furthermore, the board supports the Institute for European Global Studies with its activities of networking in the city and region of Basel.
