Foundation Week - Reshaping the financial sector; the importance of civil society activity - 1 June

As part of Foundation Week in Brussels next month, the Inquiry Commission will be holding an open event to discuss the Commission's interest in building a fairer, more responsible and sustainable economy.

Looking beyond the Inquiry's core focus of the UK and Ireland, the session will explore the roles of civil society groups operating across Europe (including foundations, NGOs and co-operatives) in growing a more ‘civil economy’, leading to a more transparent and accountable financial sector, a growth in responsible investment, and more active citizen investors. The event is open to foundations and funders, EU institutions, other civil society actors, and the general public.

To find out more about this event please contact Morven@carnegieuk.org.

Foundation Week has been organised in conjunction with the European Foundation Centre to highlight the work of foundations and to push forward the debate on a diverse set of issues being addressed at the European level.
