At the 4th ECoPP meeting held on 4-5 February 2025 in Brussels, around 80 members of the European Community of Practice on Partnership (ECoPP) came together to discuss achievements and plan for the furture. A milestone achieved in 2024 included the establishment of the ECoPP core group with former task force/sub-group leaders and other active ECoPP members. During the 4th ECoPP meeting ECoPP members worked on key messages on partnership and the future of cohesion policy. They decided to continue working togther in three working groups during 2025: 1) Partnership in the next programming period; 2) Citizens’ engagement in decision-making; and 3) Change agents and improved partnership processes. The event was opened by Iulia-Mirela SERBAN, DG REGIO and closed by Nicola de Michelis, Acting DDG REGIO. The two partnership experts, Leda Stott and Anette Scoppetta, led through the event.
