Good practice for EU civil dialogue in the light of participatory processes
The conference "Tackling societal challenges through trusted partnerships" will explore how a collaborative approach can strengthen Europe’s capacity to respond to such challenges. Drawing on the Danish experience, the conference will illustrate how public institutions and social partners work together to develop long-term solutions to complex societal questions.
