Two years ago, we launched a message of unity, cooperation, and shared insight - and the journey continues.

Do you remember our video that brought this vision to life?

With our “EU Captain,” we showed how reforms, cooperation, and regional collaboration can bring future Member States closer to the EU family.

Because when future members move forward, all of Europe moves forward.

On this 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝘆, we are happy to look back at our short reel "Albania in the EU" highlighting what Albania has to offer to the EU, and the shared journey ahead.

Europe’s future is built through cooperation, shared values, and evidence-based decision-making.

We provide strategic advice for stakeholders engaging in EU decision-making.

We support countries that are on their journey to join the European Union.

We work with businesses and their efforts to align with EU standards.

We strengthen evidence-based policymaking, improve regulatory quality, and design reforms that are transparent, inclusive, and sustainable.

Whether you work for a consultancy, a company, or a trade association, this session will provide a grounded, practical introduction to the role of Impact Assessment and Evaluation in EU decision-making. It shows how public affairs professionals can use the Better Regulation framework to engage earlier, more strategically, and with greater effect.
