Goals / Remit
The European Social Network (ESN) is the network for local public social services bringing together social services welfare departments at national, regional, and local levels with statutory duties for planning, managing, funding, delivering, and inspecting public social services.
ESN supports the development of effective social services and social/health care practices through the exchange of knowledge. ESN gathers its members with the aim to inform them about the latest European policy and trends, to learn from each other’s experience. Members participate in the knowledge exchange and building activities organised by ESN including seminars, working groups, training programmes, peer learning visits and activities outside the co-funded EC programme, such as the European Social Services Conference and the European Social Services Awards.
ESN is financed by the EaSI Programme operating grants and is currently involved in 11 EU Funded Projects.Main EU files targeted

Meetings
Meetings

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.
