Bruegel's original concept stemmed from private discussions involving policy-makers, business leaders and other individuals from several European countries in late 2002. The project was endorsed and officially floated by French President [[Jacques Chirac]] and German Chancellor [[Gerhard Schröder]] at the 40th anniversary of the [[Elysée Treaty]] in January 2003. Former European Commissioner [[Mario Monti]] and economists [[Jean Pisani-Ferry]] and [[Nicolas Véron]] were instrumental in Bruegel's creation. Bruegel was legally formed in August 2004 and started operations in early 2005.<ref>{{cite web|work=Euractiv|url=http://www.euractiv.com/pa/bruegel-newest-addition-think-tank-landscape-brussels/article-134327|title=Bruegel: newest addition to think tank landscape in Brussels|date=19 January 2005}}</ref> |

Bruegel explains its name as a tribute to [[Pieter Bruegel]], the 16th-century painter whose work epitomizes unvarnished and innovative depictions of life in Europe.
