Bundesverband Deutscher Stiftungen

Mauerstrasse 93, 10117 Berlin .

The next UEF Federal Committee meeting will take place in Berlin on 21-22 April 2018.

The Federal Committee will be preceded by a public event in the German Bundestag, in cooperation with The Spinelli Group, on the afternoon  of Friday 20 April 2018, with the title: “Re-founding Europe – Towards a federal union: The role and responsibility of Germany”.

The meeting will focus on the ongoing debate on the future of Europe and our role and activities as federalists. It will also lay the grounds for our campaign activities towards the European elections in May 2019. Last but not least, we will prepare our next European Congress, scheduled in Vienna on 23-25 November.

The Federal Committee meeting will be organised reflecting the proposals on "How to make Federal Committees more effective?" discussed at the last meeting in Paris last October, including practical working groups in addition to longer Political Commission meetings and a more structured approach to debate and resolutions.
