We are happy to announce that
Connecting Europe, a project funded by Stiftung Mercator, will continue its work in the coming years, and will soon start its third project phase.
Launched in 2017, the initiative consists of a network of 25+ civil society organisations across 13 European countries. It connects civil society organisations with EU decision-makers and the larger EU policy community.
As a platform for exchange, Connecting Europe aims to give the organisations in the network more visibility in Brussels, connect them with EU decision-makers, and provide EU policy expertise across a range of topics: from democracy and the rule of law, youth and education, to EU foreign policy, with a focus on EU-China and EU-Turkey relations.
In the new project phase, the Connecting Europe team will focus on consolidating the existing network and further expanding in certain policy fields, such as climate change and digital transformation.
We would like to thank all our partners who have contributed to the success of this initiative despite the challenging COVID-19 situation and look forward to continuing to work closely with them in the future.
