European Network of Ombudsmen Conference 2018
Event
Location: Brussels, Belgium
The Future of the EU - Ensuring an inclusive and fair society for citizens
The European Ombudsman, Emily O’Reilly, invites you to the annual European Network of Ombudsmen conference, which this year focusses on the measures needed to create a more inclusive and fair society for citizens.
Following the recent launch of the European Pillar of Social Rights and amid discussions about the future shape of the EU, Ombudsmen and other actors will draw on their everyday work to discuss where the EU could do more for its citizens.
This annual event brings together over 90 national and regional ombudsmen from all over Europe, as well as MEPs, EU officials, organisations and other interested participants. The European Ombudsman chairs the European Network of Ombudsmen and coordinates cooperation among colleagues across Europe.
The European Ombudsman helps thousands of citizens each year through handling complaints and replying to requests for information. Inquiries opened by Ms O’Reilly concern issues ranging from language rights, to access to information, and fundamental rights.
