This edition of Project Presidency is part of the EPC's re-granting scheme under project
ELEVATED, sponsored by the European Commission's
Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values Programme (CERV).
The EPC has re-granted Elcano Royal Institute to carry out activities around the Spanish Presidency. During the six months of the Presidency, EPC and Elcano will bring together decision-makers, policy experts, and analysts from Brussels and Madrid with a view to:
- Establish an independent dialogue platform to discuss the policy priorities of the Spanish Council Presidency.
- Provide analysis and recommendations on the policy priorities of the Council Presidency.
- Exchange views between Brussels and Madrid-based experts and policymakers, thus contributing to increasing transnationalism in debates on European affairs.
- Enhance intra-European European think tank cooperation, establishing links between national and pan-European think tanks.
- Bring EU decision-making closer to Member States.
