Policy Manifestos and Associations' Impact

The upcoming EU elections mark a significant moment in EU policymaking. It is also a crucial period for Associations to inform the debate, by drafting manifestos and monitoring the EU legislative process. Their role is essential to ensure that the diverse voices of stakeholders are heard. ESAE's inaugural event at the European Parliament aims to unite Association Executives and EU policymakers to discuss ways to enhance their impact and create a transparent, integrated, efficient, and inclusive ecosystem.

We're delighted to have Spanish MEP Gabriel Mato hosting the session, while ESAE's Advocacy Community Leaders, Rosa Armesto and Guido Lobrano, will co-moderate the panel discussion.
