On 29 January, the FEPS’ traditional New Year Reception will take place. At this event, FEPS will launch a new edition of the Progressive Yearbook and unveil the Progressive Person of the Year.

The Progressive Yearbook (PYB) was published for the first time in 2019-20, and is an important innovation, especially as part of the Progressive Publication family. This event is dedicated to the launch of the seventh edition of the Progressive Yearbook.

With the mission of bringing forward analyses of the key political developments of the year, the Progressive Yearbook focuses on transversal European issues that have left a mark on 2025. It brings insightful future-looking analysis and symbolises FEPS’ readiness to put these lessons into perspective.

The New Year Reception will also mark the handover of the presidency from Maria João Rodrigues to the newly elected President, Nicolas Schmit.

For more information regarding this event, please do not hesitate to contact Alice Nicaise, Project and Events Officer (alice.nicaise@feps-europe.eu).
