The 2015 event will have a special focus on how European legislation can be made more tangible, concrete and efficient, while assuring a better implication of civil society.
 
On 16 June at the EESC headquarters in Brussels, policymakers together with experts and civil society will:
 
• Develop possible solutions on a more effective policymaking environment, drawing on the expertise of civil society;
• create a permanent Civil Dialogue and participation of civil society on all levels, and;
• discuss the social, economic, civic and external dimensions of EU policies.
