The 5th annual All DAGs meeting will take place on Monday 2 July 2026 10:00-14:00 at the EESC premises in JDE51 including a networking lunch. This will be a great opportunity to gather all EU DAG Members and key EU institution stakeholders as one TSD community, to openly exchange ideas, challenges, and aspirations. The meeting will feature, among others, CTEO Denis Redonnet and INTA Chair Bernd Lange.

The European Economic and Social Committee is preparing an own‑initiative opinion on “Empowering Civil Society in the EU Security: advancing the civilian Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) Compact and the European Civilian Peace Corps.”

In this context, the EESC is organising a public hearing in the framework of the first meeting of the Study Group dedicated to this topic.
