The European Commission and its Directorate for Equality and Non-Discrimination are organising a series of meetings to work on the transposition of the two Directives on standards for equality bodies and on the design of draft indicators on the functioning of equality bodies. The events bring together around fifty members and observers of the Expert Group to actively discuss the implementation of the new EU standards. The next meeting of 26-27 November 2024 will focus on the powers of equality bodies, including litigation.
The 2-day event is participatory and discussions will be held in English.
Who will participate?
Appointed representatives from EU Member States, the European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE), the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) and the European Network of Equality Bodies (Equinet) as well as representatives from the Commission.
Date and venue
The event will take place in Brussels on 26-27 November 2024 at the European Commission’s Albert Borschette Congress Centre (Rue Froissart 36, 1040 Brussels).
Works will start at 9:00 a.m. on 26 November and end at around 15:00 p.m. on 27 November. A walking dinner will be organised near the premises on 26 November.
