WAPES Region Europe: challenges by the Vice-President

Taking into account the overall Strategic objectives of WAPES, the Region Europe will be aiming at:

  • Developing a network of European PES and create momentums of discussion strictly among PES organisations
  • Identifying information about interesting initiatives which can feed the debates between European experts but also inspire them and spread these in Europe and elsewhere
  • Increasing knowledge about the difficulties and the aches European PES are experiencing within their own specific context and the strategic decisions they are facing: what makes them suffer, not just what works well, but more in an approach of "strengths and weaknesses"
