    Goals / Remit

    The European Centre for Public Affairs (The ECPA) is a not-for-profit think-tank, whose mission is to “promote excellence in public affairs”.

    The ECPA membership is primarily comprised of Corporates and Trade Associations, but also NGOs and Institutions, as well as Knowledge Partners (academics and consultants).

    In practice, the ECPA activities allow our members to:

    • “Share best practice”: Our Corporate Circle enables our senior members to “stop and think” in small groups, discuss challenges facing their organizations/sectors in a safe environment and exchange best practice in managing these issues, whether internal or external.

    • Develop Professional & Organizational Skills: our regular one-day training courses are delivered by experienced public affairs practitioners and are limited in numbers to ensure the acquisition of practical skills across the organization and interaction between the participants. The ECPA also provides dedicated "in-house" (...)

    Meetings

    3 meetings found. Download meetings

    The list below covers meetings with Commissioners/Cabinet members/Directors-general (high-level) Commission meetings published December 2014 to December 2024, and the meetings of Commissioners/Cabinet members/Directors-general and officials holding "management functions" in the Commission published since 1 January 2025. Other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may well have taken place, but the Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. All information below comes from the Commission and not from the registrant.

    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.
