The event, attended by over 200 participants, was co-organised with three other democracy support organisations – the European Network of Political Foundations, European Partnership for Democracy, and the Office of the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (International IDEA) to the EU – as well as the European External Action Service and the European Commission.
This year's theme evolved around the "EU Leadership for Democracy", focusing on the internal and external dimensions of the EU policies, political leadership, the role of technology and women empowerment.
