Events

The CDS organises balanced policy events, involving stakeholders from different countries, with different educational and professional backgrounds, with the aim to always safeguard gender and diversity balance. CDS policy events are also open: first of all, the events are always open to the public (i.e. either online and/or in presence). Secondly, the video recordings of the CDS policy events are usually made available on the CDS website soon after the event. The CDS may jointly organise policy events with its Institutional Partners and Markets Donors on topics of mutual interest. Representatives of CDS Institutional Partners and Market Donors may be invited as speakers at the CDS policy events to provide a practitioner perspective on a specific topic. The CDS fully complies with the EUI Guidelines on Ethics and Integrity in Academic Research and the EUI General Principles concerning the Receipt of External Funds. In particular, the EUI Funding Committee regularly scrutinises any external funding from private donors received by the CDS.
