​​​The Connect and Kick Off Meetings are the departing point of the EuroMeSCo Joint Study Groups’ research cycle. In these meetings, the Coordinators of each Joint Study Group will present their Concept Notes in order to get feedback on the objectives, structure, approach and methodology of the resulting Policy Study. The goal of the Connect and Kick Off is to bring the Coordinator – and by extension the whole Joint Study Group – closer to ongoing policy debates in different EU and regional institutions, thus ensuring a policy-oriented research approach. To that end, we count on the feedback and active participation of the attendants, which combine a mix of policymakers and experts in a small-size format. In order to foster a focused discussion, the Concept Note is shared with all attendants ahead of the meeting.

Attendance by invitation only.
