In November 2019, Polint facilitated the organisation of an event on international challenges related to cybersecurity and the ‘European way’ to cybersecurity in the European Parliament (Brussels). The event was co-sponsored by MEPs with financial support by the Chinese Mission to the EU and saw the participation of speakers from the European Parliament, the European Commission, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, industry and academia.Other activities

Meetings
Meetings
11 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.
