Upcoming Events
Next week, a FEPS team delegation will travel to Málaga to actively participate at the🌹Congress of the Party of European Socialists (PES). At the side event organised by FEPS and PES CoR, we will explore what lies ahead for Social Europe after the current Commission’s mandate ends. The seminar ‘Leading, not leaning’, by S&D and FEPS, will look at the ways PES can be a pioneer in the sphere of transnational politics in 2024 and beyond.

The #PESCongress will unite PES heads of state and government, leaders and activists from across Europe to address the challenges facing Europe and the world. We will be there, for a fairer and more equitable EU.

Before that, busy days also in Brussels: don’t miss the high-level conference on social investments for resilient economies and societies and join the FEPS-World Bank discussion on the future of work.

We promised an exciting month of November; this is how it starts!
UPCOMING EVENT
10 November – Málaga, Spain

Socialists and social democrats have revived Social Europe and kept it high on the EU’s political agenda. The EU Council presidencies of Spain and Belgium have already boldly signalled their ambition to fortify Social Europe further. However, the pressing question remains: what lies ahead for Social Europe after the current Commission’s mandate expires next year? Will we witness an expansion of Social Europe or a regrettable backtracking?

Join us for a stimulating and interactive discussion powered by the dynamic collaboration between the PES Group in the European Committee of the Regions and FEPS, that will count on the participation of prominent progressive politicians such as: Nicolas Schmit, Commissioner for Jobs and Social Right; José Luis Escrivá, Spain’s Minister of Inclusion, Social Security and Migrations; Ana Mendes Godinho, Portugal’s Minister of Labour, Solidarity and Social Security, among many others.

EU Treaties
Why they need targeted changes
16 November – EP, Brussels

War in our continent, geopolitical rivalry, climate emergency, cost of living crises, pandemic, tensions about migration, misinformation… This new context asks for a stronger European capacity to act, and the current Lisbon Treaty shows its limits. The time has come to reassess it and identify some targeted changes.

With the debate about EU Treaty changes back on the agenda and ahead of the upcoming vote on the European Parliament report on treaty changes, join this event organised by S&D Group and FEPS. The authors of FEPS forthcoming report on the topic will be among the speakers, together with S&D MEPs and renowned experts.

This year’s theme is climate justice. Nowhere is the challenge of the climate crisis as great as in African countries, even though they are not the big polluters. Politicians, activists, trade unionists and experts will be part of the programme prepared by FEPS and Foundation Max van der Stoel.
