We believe that the West and the Islamic world are stronger when they work together and that strong partnerships between the West and the Islamic world are necessary for humanity to address our common global challenges.
The Eden Institute for Global Affairs is a London-based think-and-do-tank that harnesses the power of ideas to connect the Western and Islamic worlds. We bring top thinkers and doers together to build resilient connections between the West and the Islamic world, united by a commitment to pluralism, peace, and prosperity.
What do we mean by pluralism?
Pluralism: different perspectives on ethical questions, united by a shared commitment to human dignity, intellectual autonomy, and creative expression, can be celebrated.
What do we mean by peace?
That all people, regardless of faith, background, identity, or geography have the confidence to pursue their beliefs, practices, and ambitions safely and securely.
What do we mean by prosperity?
That economic growth is defined broadly, responsibly, and sustainably—that opportunity is available to all people, that growth works with and not against the planet, and that we prioritize growth that enables ever larger numbers of people to live safely and securely.
