The Renew Europe Group in the European Parliament is pleased to invite you to an expert exchange on the current challenges for civil society organisations and the funding of NGOs in a changed political landscape.
The seminar titled “Renew civil society’s role in Europe” will take place on 12th June 2025 from 11:30 to 14:00 in the European Parliament in Brussels, room PHS 5B1. With this event, we aim to take stock of the most recent political developments relevant to civil society, shed a light on the working conditions and prospects of their organisations and show solidarity. The event also aims at looking into additional support and funding options of these organizations, ensuring that they receive the resources they need.
