The European Civic Forum (ECF) will launch its annual flagship Civic Space Report at a cross-party event in the European Parliament on the 13 May 2026. Civil society organisations are invited to join this event.
The Civic Space Report documents the space for civil society in EU and Western Balkans states and has become the go-to analysis for understanding the state of civic space in Europe. The event will bring together civil society partners and human rights defenders from across Europe, Brussels-based networks, MEPs, international human rights bodies, donors, and journalists.
During the event, ECF will present its key findings, followed by an interactive panel discussion spotlighting the current attacks against the funding of civil society.
More information on the event can be found on the website of the European Civic Forum.
