Participants:
The Agency invited representatives from EU institutions, equality bodies, data protection authorities, national human rights institutions and national government officials to discuss the findings of these reports:
- - National Governments
- - Civil society organisations
- - National Human Rights Institutions
- - Equality bodies
- - The European Parliament
- - The European Commission
Due to space limitations and budget constraints participation 7th May Symposium was only possible by invitation. Participants were selected to represent a broad range of fundamental rights concerns relevant to the theme as well as a wide geographical spectrum from across the EU.
The selection took into account the following criteria:
- mix of role and responsibilities in policy making and practice, gathering evidence and raising awareness;
- mix of the Agency's stakeholders at the different levels of governance;
- balanced coverage of fundamental rights concerns represented by the various organisations;
- geographical variety of participants.
We welcome any suggestions on how to broaden the participation of civil society organisations in future Symposiums.
