EU Communication Officials Network

One of the Chair's aims is the creation of a Network among the Communication Officials of the EU institutions, so as to share knowledge, best practices and foster the collaboration between academics and practitioners. The Chair's Inaugural Conference has been the occasion for the first meeting of the Network.

The Network aims at discussing how EU institutions communicate, how the EU is communicated by old and new media as well as evaluting the growing relevance of EU Communication. The opinions expressed by its members in no way commit the institution to which they belong.
