Workshops & Special weeks

Since 2000 EurActiv has provided extended coverage of key events related to the European Union. In addition to our regular policy analysis and news we provide background LinksDossier, and extended analysis during these weeks.

Preceding the special weeks, Fondation EurActiv has scheduled a number of lunchtime workshops taking place two months before the publication of a EurActiv LinksDossier (in the framework of a Special Week). These lunchtime debates are held in the EurActiv conference room and aim to gather all the relevant stakeholders (EU Institutions, Corporations, Industry Associations and NGOs) around the table to network and debate. Even though a EurActiv journalist is always present, the discussion among the stakeholders is held off the record.
