Communication activities
The Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation hosts several initiatives related with European Policies, such as Seminars, Foruns and meetings.
New Pact for Europe, a project whose aim is to help identify the tools needed to enable the European Union to meet the internal and external challenges it faces. The final work will bring together recommendations on how to change the way in which the European Union and its policies are designed to help prevent future crises. Responsibility for its implementation is shared by ten National Reflection Groups (Belgium, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Poland, Portugal and Slovakia), each composed of 20 senior political representatives, opinion leaders, representatives of Non-Governmental Organizations and other key stakeholders. There are a few other initiatives.Other activities

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.
