Complementary Information
Above mentioned figures are based on an educated guess. Usually, contacts with the EC, EP, and other European legislations occur in an ad hoc way, by many people, both from administration and (especially) researchers, not allowing for proper calculations. There is not a single person appointed for advocacy purposes at the university.
These figures do not include the people employed by LERU, the League of European Research Universities, of which KU Leuven is a member.Person in charge of EU relations

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.
