At the 3rd ECoPP meeting held on 8 February 2024 in Brussels, around 120 members of the European Community of Practice on Partnership (ECoPP) came together to discuss achievements and plan for the furture. Five engaged DGs discussed the partnership principle by taking stock of its implementation in shared management funds during the morning session. ECoPP members decided to continue working togther in seven task forces during 2024: 1) Awareness-raising around the European Code of Conduct on Partnership (ECCP); 2) Partnership knowledge and skills sharing; 3) Compilation and analysis of partnership practices and ECoPP webinar series; 4) Ecosystem mapping; 5) Citizens’ engagement - Building transformational environments; 6) Going beyond monitoring committees; and 7) Partnership in the next programming period 2028+. Eva Nussmueller, DG REGIO and the two experts, Leda Stott and Anette Scoppetta, led through the event.
