In 1994, Search launched the European Center for Common Ground, a spin-off of the US Search for Common Ground. We established our European non-profit organization at the heart of Europe, in Brussels, as a Belgium registered AISBL-IVZW (international not-for-profit-organisation).

The European Center for Common Ground – later renamed “Search for Common Ground AISBL” in order to promote a shared identity with our US counterpart – became key to expanding our peacebuilding work across the globe. From Brussels, we were able to gather the trust and support of various European governments, foundations and other sponsors to build our teams and our programmes across the globe.
