    Complementary Information

    EFFRA team members sometimes interact with representatives of the European Commission and, to a lesser extent, representatives of other European institutions.

    EFFRA is in contact with, and works closely with, European Commissions staff because EFFRA is the official representative of the private side in the European Union's 'Factories of the Future' public-private partnership. The public side is represented by the European Commission (DG Research & DG Connect).

    However the majority of time is spent running the Association, conducting EFFRA's other activities etc.

    Meetings

    3 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.
