Round tables, waving strips of colourful paper, a room humming with conversation. Practitioners, policy thinkers, foundation representatives, and politicians took the stage in a passionate testimony to the power of conversation, the Open Dialogue and the Future of Politics session of the European Foundation Centre's 2017 Annual General Assembly and Conference. The event showcased two major cooperative projects, the Mercator European Dialogue and the New Pact for Europe.

Mercator European Dialogue Grants are now available exlusively for the members of the network to help support innovative projects by Members of Parliament. You can submit your proposal by clicking on the button at the top of this page.
