Have you heard about European Years? 🇪🇺 European Years are EU-led awareness campaigns highlighting specific issues, sparking dialogue and events across member countries. They often provide additional funding opportunities for local and cross-border projects aligned with the theme, which can offer a competitive edge when applying for grants. Staying informed on the current European Year can increase your project’s relevance and potential for success. 🔗 Read more https://lnkd.in/dduU8HKb

🍾 🍫 ✈ This is a story of how influence works in Brussels and that includes offering champagne, chocolate and free trips to those who often feel at the bottom of the food chain in the EU's bubble. ▶ Parliamentary assistants (or APAs) in Brussels are not known to have a luxurious lifestyle. Yet one think tank came up with a generous proposal last week, offering “immersive programme” of training — plus extra perks if you bring colleagues: “a bottle of Moët & Chandon for each confirmed referral” and “a trip to the capital of one of our member think tanks” for the biggest referrer.  🎭 Who was behind the lavish offer? A think tank founded by a Brexiteer, with ties to the powerful libertarian Atlas network and its 600 think tanks. Atlas has a rising presence in Europe, boasting connections in France with far-right financiers close to Éric Zemmour or Marine Le Pen but also with organizations fighting back against the rise of the far right. 📩 Who are they and what's their agenda? Read it in EU influence this week. Bonus: After unexpectedly arriving at the 29th floor of the Cardo Hotel just before sending this story, I can confirm that I have seen around a dozen bottles of champagne (worth around €40 each) arranged for guests, as well as a nice buffet overlooking the financial district. Unfortunately, we weren’t allowed to join the discussion, and were politely escorted outside of the conference room for a chat. More in EU influence: https://lnkd.in/eqz766-R

In the 2nd instalment of our series on which research and reports communications professionals should be reading we're highlighting the European Communication Monitor. The longest-running academic study exploring the field of corporate communications, it has been conducted annually since 2007 and is known as the largest transnational study on strategic communication worldwide. In 2024, the study design has been refocused by the renowned universities conducting the research. The ECM focuses on corporate communications in the business world. Each year, a random sample of 30 top leaders among the elite group of chief communication officers in the 300 largest companies headquartered in Europe is interviewed. In-depth insights based on statements, experiences, and forecasts from those shaping the future of the field provide unique insights into the current status and future developments of the field.

"...strategic communication in the sense of engaging in conversations that are substantial for survival and sustained success (Zerfass et al., 2018) is no walk in the park. Planning and executing communication activities with internal and external stakeholders requires a broad set of competencies, resources, structures, and processes." ECM 2023 So it's important to be aware of emerging trends and tools. Whether your title includes corporate communications, corporate affairs, public relations or simply communications, the European Communication Monitor is going to be something you'll want to read. To find out what else is worth keeping abreast of, check out the list I've pulled together in the link below. #comms #BetterCommunications
