Join TASC at Call to Europe 2026

Call to Europe, held bi-annually in the country hosting the Presidency of the Council of the European Union by the Foundation for European Progressive Studies, serves as a dynamic platform for dialogue among key stakeholders, experts, civil society representatives, and policymakers. Guided by the 3-P principle – Positive, Participatory, and Progressive – joined by TASC and other progressive groups from across Europe, FEPS aims to inspire meaningful conversations on Europe’s most pressing challenges. The initiative strives to ‘bridge the gap’ between European citizens and institutions by employing interactive and inclusive formats.The key priorities of the Irish Presidency of the Council of the EU are competitiveness, security and values. On Saturday, 17 October, FEPS will analyse these priorities from a progressive and gender equality angle with three sessions on: 

• Competitiveness without a free pass for big tech, 
• Security, focusing on providing a roof for people, 
• Values that defend democracy.

All across these fields, women, girls and the LGBTQIA+ community are affected very differently and, often in a negative way. The EU must facilitate and embrace digital opportunities that have a meaningful impact in creating an equal, social Europe. By FEPS in collaboration with the Think-tank for Action on Social change (TASC), Friedrich Ebert Stiftung, the Irish Labour Party, Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP), PES Women, Young European Socialists (YES) and PES Committee of the Regions. Secure your spot and register with FEPS here.
