Selected Social Platform events:
- Since November 2017, we hold an annual 'Building Social Europe' Flagship event. In 2018 it took place in Lisbon (PT) with cooperation of the Portuguese government , in 2019 in Helsinki (FI) in cooperation with the Finnish government and in 2020 we organised events online in cooperation with the German government. For more information please consult Social Platform's website at: https://www.socialplatform.org/what-we-do/flagship-conference/. The 2021 edition will take place in May in cooperation with the Portuguese Presidency of the Council.
- We also organise events in Brussels (since the pandemic virtually), for example in the European Parliament or during the annual civil society days in the European Economic and Social Committee.

46 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.
