Welcome to the ECI Forum!
Are you planning to launch a European citizens' initiative, or are you currently promoting one? Or perhaps you are simply interested in discussing potential citizens' initiatives?
This Forum is a space for you to get practical information and advice about the European citizens’ initiative, and to discuss any topics related to it. Some features are only accessible after you register. This platform is operated by the European Citizen Action Service (ECAS) on behalf of and under contract to the European Commission.
To view the list of European citizens’ initiatives or register a new initiative, visit the European citizens’ initiative website.
