After talking to a number of businesses and individuals, we have realised there is little knowledge about the upcoming Ireland’s Presidency of the EU Council, starting on 01 July 2026.
Therefore, we decided to launch an awareness raising campaign, named #EPNConsResearch4Ireland, informing on this event, the EU in general, and the EU funding schemes. We will publish brief posts at least twice a week.
If you would like to advertise your initiatives to be held before and during the Presidency semester, please get in touch!
