The European Commission and its Directorate for Equality and non-Discrimination are organising an event to celebrate the adoption on 7 May 2024 of the two Directives strengthening the independence, resources and powers of Equality Bodies. The event will bring together a hundred stakeholders to actively discuss the implementation of the new EU standards. In particular, participants will exchange good practices ahead of the transposition of the Directives and the design of indicators on the functioning of equality bodies.
This 2-day event is participatory and discussions will be held in English. You can consult the Agenda here.
