Thematic Webinars

This year’s Virtual PFD continued in October and November with a series of three thematic webinars on “An Economy for the people” (20 October), the Green Deal (27 October) and Digitalisation (3 November). These meetings were part of a broader consultation process among PFD members to provide input into EU programming and built on the results of the PFD regional meetings organised in July 2020, as well as the first global virtual meeting with DEVCO Director General Koen Doens in September 2020. In each webinar, thematic experts of the European Commission were present to give a short overview of the respective topic and to answer PFD members’ questions. A detailed summary of each thematic meeting can be found at our dedicated event page.

The results of the entire process will be discussed with the Commissioner for International Partnership, Jutta Urpilainen, during another virtual PFD dialogue on 10 December 2020.
