FEPS team will be in Berlin next week! Big events Builders of Progress, Progressive Governance Summit, PES Congress. News books on social Europe and social democracy and much more!
Next week will be an exceptionally important one at FEPS. Half of our team will be in Berlin to take part in two major events: the
Progressive Governance Summit and the PES Congress 2022. We will actively participate in numerous panels and side events on the present and future of social democracy, solidarity in times of crises and war, the reform of economic governance, the case for EU enlargement and deepening, strategies for energy security and other key issues. Also next week, we will launch Europe’s most extensive youth-focused survey. Find here the information about all this and some of the recently launched books we will bring to Berlin. Stay tuned!
Join us in the launch of Europe’s most extensive youth-focused survey! The Builders of Progress final report launch event will conclude a three-year research period, during which 19,000 young Europeans aged 16-38 were surveyed.
The project follows the tradition of FEPS’s long-standing work on researching Millennials and expands it to include Generation Z.
We would be delighted to welcome you in person at the FEPS headquarters in Brussels to fully enjoy the numerous expert panels, lunch, dinner and live music offered during the event. One part of
the event will also be live-streamed.
We will discuss the project’s results on various topics, including young people’s views on political participation, climate change, equality, EU policies, the war in Ukraine, and the Covid-19 pandemic.
Difficult times call for good friends. And even more so, good friends with a plan. Join leading international politicians, thinkers and strategists from both sides of the Atlantic as we plan what comes next for progressives.
This year’s PGS will explore how to build reliable progressive alliances that can respond to the urgent challenges our democracies are facing while shifting societies to a more green and just future.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz and EC VP Frans Timmermans will be among the speakers. Stay tuned for news on #PGS22!
All sessions on the main stage will also be
live-streamed. Register here.
The PES Congress will welcome heads of state and government, European Commissioners, party leaders and other representatives. With the motto “With Courage. For Europe”, it comes at a moment of fundamental changes and high uncertainties. ℹ️ More information on the event’s website

policy integration among European countries.” Read More

distributional inequalities and ultimately ensure access to health for all Read more

🎙️Ana Sofia Fernandez, President of the Portuguese Platform for Women’s Rights, and Laeticia Thissen, FEPS Policy Analyst for Gender Equality, exchange on the gendered nature of economic policy and governance mechanisms at EU level.
How do budgets mirror political priorities? What is their influence in perpetuating or redressing persisting gender gaps? How do they discriminate based on gendered assumptions about society and the economy? How can they be used as a powerful tool in transforming our societies? To what extent are gender budgeting tools applied in the recovery plans? These are some of the points touched upon as the EU is faced with crisis after crisis affecting women in acutely singular ways.
According to Eurostat, Euro area annual inflation is expected to be 10 per cent in September 2022, with the most prominent drivers being energy, which is expected to have the highest annual rate in September (close to 40per cent) and food (close to 12 per cent).
