Civil society engagement
We are committed to fostering an open dialogue with civil society
The ECB is committed to engaging with civil society to foster an open dialogue and strengthen communication. We hold regular listening events and seminars throughout the year for civil society organisations across the euro area to better understand their views and share information on both the work of the ECB and the euro area economy.
Civil society seminar series
In our regular seminar series, ECB experts present their insights on different topics related to our work and exchange views with representatives from European-level civil society organisations.
