In July 2023, the European Commission presented its Communication “EU Missions two years on: assessment of progress and way forward“, which among other inputs also draws on insights from the interim evaluation study of EU missions. This EMiN Meeting offers an opportunity for EMiN members to discuss the latest perspectives for EU missions based on the lessons from the interim evaluation, the new Commission communication and the views of different stakeholders. The Meeting is open to all official EMiN members and the TRAMI consortium.
