EABC Policy Forums

To raise the awareness of the EABC by providing a forum for serious policy discussion and debate though policy symposiums and Charter Member forums.

1. Policy Symposiums

EABC policy symposiums are comprised of a structured programme of guests, keynote speakers and discussions around relevant topics. There is a greater interaction with both Australian and European bureaucracies, through the invitation of participants from Australian Federal Government departments such as Foreign Affairs and Trade, PM&C, Infrastructure, Attorney-Generals etc, as well as working closely with the Delegation from the European Union, notable academics and where possible, key European participants.

The EABC policy symposiums are a serious and constructive discussion of relevant topics to be debated and not just a vehicle for promoting Australia’s view or response.

The events are structured as a lunch with a keynote speaker, followed by a panel discussion.  

Trade policy forums are held in conjunction with the National Europe Centre’s trade symposium and EABC’s delegation of Charter Members to Canberra.
