• under the current Treaty: better policy-making efficiency, building on great transparency gains in last 15 years. In Brussels and the capitals, the 'Community of EU Actors' could be supported by technology identifying credible experts and relevant documents. This project is called 'EU Community'.
   
• further changes to this set-up: defining different EU circles: a more integrated Eurozone, and other circles including the UK and candidates. Building on the current 'think tank phase', options should be clarified before the 2014 European selections, so that countries have clear mandates for ensuing negotiations. This project is 'Future EU'.

• "EU Community": help develop the next era of policy-making. (see brochure)

• "Future EU": support the debate on differentiated integration. (see brochure)

• "European Parliament 2014 Elections": as part of a consortium, EurActiv is contributing media and policy insights to the communication strategy and campaign for the 2014 European elections. Several EurActiv network partners have also recently won projects to produce online coverage and debates around the European Parliament and the upcoming elections.

Supporting EU milestones creates a lasting impact

As in previous phases of strong European integration, certain organizations outside the Institutions can play a historic catalyst role. Fondation EurActiv, the media EurActiv.com and a few strategic partners can belong to such a pioneer group for the 21st century. EurActiv will work with this selected group of corporates and foundations (sector exclusivity) on a 3-year project that provides recognition as an influential stakeholder in the debate, upstream of key decisions.

EU has designated 2013 as the European Year of Citizens, which chimes well with the aims and mid-term ambitions of EurActiv. As a part of a consortium, EurActiv.com, the media, won two competitive tenders to support the European Parliament in the run-up to 2014 EP elections. In addition, Fondation EurActiv PoliTech contributes to EU research and policy-modeling projects.
