Communication activities
In line with its legally defined missions, FEPS endeavors to proactively communicate on all EU policy areas covered by its activities.
It regularly organises events and issues several dozens of publications of different nature (e.g. books, policy studies, policy briefs) every year. These are, amongst other, publicly accessible on FEPS' website: https://feps-europe.eu/publication/
FEPS also edits a magasine - "The Progressive Post" - in print (3-4 editions per year) as well as online via a dedicated website: https://feps-europe.eu/progressive-post/
When it comes electoral campaigning, like all EUPFs, FEPS is legally forbidden to fund, directly or indirectly, European or national political parties or candidates (EU Regulation 1141/2014, Article 22).Other activities

Meetings
Meetings
1 meetings found. Download 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.
