European Corporate Governance Institute
Accordinbg to its website 'The European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI) was founded in 2002. It has been established to improve corporate governance through fostering independent scientific research and related activities.'[1]. The website is a little opaque on who was responsible for creating it. However close attention reveals that it was 'set up by the European Commission to examine best practices in Member States with a view to enhancing the convergence of national corporate governance codes and providing advice to the Commission.'[2]
One of its projects is the Transatlantic Corporate Governance Dialogue [1]
The website is developed by Jeremy Miller who also registered the website for the European Public Affairs Consultants Association
