Goals / Remit
The European Civic Forum (ECF) is a transnational network that brings together over 100 associations and NGOs across 27 countries in Europe and is actively working to promote civic and popular ownership of Europe, to foster citizens’ participation and the emergence of a European public space where the role and influence of civil society are fully recognised though the setting up of a genuine European civil dialogue.
Main EU files targeted
Since its creation in 2005, the European Civic Forum has been particularly working to:
- Enable civic participation through citizens’ associations and movements for a Europe grounded on Equality, Solidarity and Democracy that guarantees effective access to rights for all
- Support the structuring of European civil society movement through alliance building, collective thinking and joint campaigning for the common good
- Fight for the institutional recognition of civil society through the setting up of a genuine European civil dialogue
Besides these activities, the European Civic Forum is following with particular attention the situation of fundamental rights and the safeguarding of civic space in European countries. Eventually, the ECF is actively following the evolution of Transparency at the European level.Address

Communication activities
In order to fully achieve its missions, the European Civic Forum is taking action through different forms:
- Connecting civil society actors transnationally and cross-sectorally through conferences, forums, alliances, working groups
- Participating in civil dialogue structures at European level
- Running campaigns for the recognition of civil society organisations in the policy making process at European, national or local level.
Among its major events, the ECF is organising its European Civic Days and the European Democratic Citizenship Awards every year. These two events aim at illustrating a positive change in community life, either coming from NGOs or from locally organised individuals. These are also moments where actors from different backgrounds can meet and learn from each other's experiences.Other activities
The European Civic Forum is also a member of the Civil Dialogue group on Europe for Citizens within the DG Home.
The president of the ECF, Jean-Marc ROIRANT, is also a member of the Group III of the European Economic and Social Committee.
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.
