How does the EPD’s advocacy work in Brussels complement its activities on the ground?
An important part of EPD activities are oriented towards contributing to the more general stances of the policy debate in Europe. The last few years have witnessed the opening of an important debate on the role of the EU in worldwide democracy support. EPD has been involved in this debate as a proactive partner, working in close cooperation with the EU institutions and Member States as well as with other stakeholders and organizations: channeling contributions and expertise from various EU Member States and disseminating the outcomes of the debates in Brussels; participating in various forums and platforms; as well as organizing and supporting conferences and knowledge sharing events.
