Goals / Remit
Athenora is a public affairs consultancy firm, specializing in strategic advice and advocacy, based on in-depth knowledge of the Brussels “bubble” and a recognized lobbying methodology. Athenora leads several pan-European coalitions. We support our clients throughout the European decision-making process, respecting the principles of transparency and ethics that we have helped to disseminate and implement for more than 20 years, notably through several reference works. We provide relevant information on EU policies to our clients. We enable access to EU decision makers in order to advocate for positive changes. We advise on how to communicate efficiently with the EU Institutions (position papers, press releases, open consultations, seminars, e-lobbying...) and we facilitate contacts with EU media, think tanks and the civil society.

The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
