Upcoming Events
We hope you’ve recharged your batteries over the holidays because 2024 promises to be a transformative year for Europe and beyond. (Yes, we are referring to the EU elections, but also much more!).

To get prepared to navigate these turbulent waters, we start the year looking back to look ahead with our yearly tradition: join us at the annual launch of the 5th edition of the Progressive Yearbook, one of our most unique publications! We’ll also announce FEPS Progressive Person of the Year on this occasion.

On the topic of the future and elections, these days, we are particularly looking at youth. Join us at the launch of the upcoming survey exploring the attitudes of young Europeans from disadvantaged backgrounds toward democracy. We are also looking at the vital role of youth in Ukraine’s recovery and transformation!

Here’s to a year of informed discussions, collaborative efforts, and progressive strides!

Democracy in the face of disadvantage
23 January – FEPS HQ

Join us as we unveil the findings of an 18-month research project. We captured the perspectives of over 100 young people from disadvantaged backgrounds across five EU countries —🇭🇺 Hungary, 🇮🇪 Ireland, 🇫🇷 France, 🇵🇱 Poland, and 🇪🇸 Spain. Complemented by insights from over 50 experts in politics, youth work, and academia, the survey analyses young people’s attitudes toward democracy.

What needs to be done to integrate young people and protect democracy? We’ll explore this question alongside Fundacion Felipe González, Fondation Jean-Jaurès (FJJ), Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) and Szociális Demokráciáért Intézet.

PODCAST

In this episode of Euractiv’s Beyond the Byline podcast, journalist Evi Kiorri and Andriy Korniychuk, FEPS Policy Analyst on International Relations, take a deep dive into the agreement reached by EU member states to initiate talks with the European Parliament concerning a €50 billion aid package for Ukraine. Hungary’s prime minister Viktor Orbán has so far vetoed the EU’s proposed €50 billion for the Ukraine Facility fund. However, he has indicated he is willing to lift the veto – under certain conditions. What are these conditions, and why is Hungary considering changing its position? Read more.

In an era of growing social uncertainties, global competition and challenges in climate adaptation and mitigation, a progressive European Union must assert itself on the world stage and vigorously uphold its distinctive social model. The revival of strategic investments and the consolidation of social Europe will headline the agenda during Belgium’s presidency of the Council of the European Union. Read more.
