On this occasion, they will present the study "Civil Dialogue: making it work better", which assesses dialogue and consultations between NGOs and EU institutions in seven different policy areas, at EU and national level.
The aim of the conference is to bring together EU and national level NGO activists, giving them the opportunity to discuss the study’s main outcomes and recommendations, based on their daily experience and difficulties. It will thus put a particular focus on participation through interactive workshops focusing on key aspects of the study:
Improving the way EU institutions consult
Transparency and representativity
Linking Brussels to the grassroots
The conference outcomes will feed into the Civil Society Contact Group advocacy work on the Transparency Initiative and Communication White Paper.
