Jacques Delors Think Tanks Network
The Jacques Delors Think Tanks Network is a group of three mutually independent but related think tanks based respectively in Paris, Berlin and Brussels: by chronological order of establishment, the Jacques Delors Institute, Jacques Delors Centre ; and Europe Jacques Delors. They self-describe as "three sisters", all named after European statesman Jacques Delors.

Both JDC and EJD started as local branches of JDI, opened in 2014 and 2017 respectively, and were subsequently repurposed as autonomous organizations. In the Berlin case this was achieved by merger into the Hertie School.The JDI Berlin office was originally established at Pariser Platz 6 in central Berlin. It then relocated next to the Hertie School before relocating to Alexanderstrasse 3 in the early 2020s.
