Description

How do the European Union and the Council of Europe collaborate to strengthen democracy, human rights, and the rule of law? In this episode from the DPC Open Day 2025, we explore the impact of joint programmes with Vesna Kos (EU Head of Delegation) and Claus Neukirch (Director of Programme Coordination). Learn how over 50 joint initiatives, including flagship projects in Ukraine, the Balkans, and Central Asia, are driving democratic resilience and reform across Europe. Tune in for insights into the future of this strategic partnership and how EU member states benefit from these cooperation efforts. This is the second of three podcasts that provide expert insights and explore how international cooperation between the Council of Europe and the European Union is shaping Europe's future through policy reform, fieldwork, and crisis response.
