“Anyone who wants to push forward EU climate policy must keep the entire continent in mind: the drift becomes evident in the 2040 target — pressure from Western Europe to reach 95% meets a lack of support in CEE. When people face different challenges and discussions focus only on distant grand goals, a disconnect emerges. EUKI helps close this gap, bringing stakeholders closer to MEPs and working on the ground in the member states — through meetings between politics and business, building robust networks, and developing joint strategies and alliances. This brings debates closer to citizens’ daily lives, and our work can demonstrate how climate policy tangibly improves everyday life.”

– Martin Hojsík, Vice-President, European Parliament

“The EUKI Networking Event on Finance Management was a perfect workshop to learn about financial project requirements. Now, we usually go to the [EUKI learning platform] to use the materials for our daily work.”

– Ina Janushi, Urban Research Institute

“The Training on Social Media Strategy and Practical Skills was very useful […] . It distilled current trends, shared expertise and knowledge. That saves time and enriches my knowledge.”

– Dora Crnčević, CEE Bankwatch

“[The EUKI Academy Study Tours] enabled us to build long-term relationships of the CEE civil society with the European Commission and MEPs. We are benefitting from them all the time. I also believe they made new organisations aware of the EU policies.”
