Connecting Europe

Connecting Europe is a project at the European Policy Centre funded by Stiftung Mercator. Our goal is to connect civil society organisations with EU decision-makers and to transnationalise EU policy debates. Established in 2017, Connecting Europe has grown into a network of 45+ organisations, which includes a broad range of research institutes, NGOs, think tanks, network projects and fellowship programmes working across Europe. The project covers topics relevant to the EU policy community as well as to the partner organisations: rule of law and democracy, climate change, the digital transformation EU enlargement, as well as the future of EU foreign policy.
