Who are we?

The European Citizens’ Consultations 2009 are run by a unique consortium of more than 40 independent European partner organisations, led by the Belgian King Baudouin Foundation. These include foundations, NGOs, universities and think-tanks from all 27 European Union Member States, who will organise the European Citizens’ Consultations in each Member State.

Co-funding comes from the European Commission's "Debate Europe" programme and foundations including the King Baudouin Foundation, the Robert Bosch Foundation, the Compagnia di San Paolo, the Barrow Cadbury Trust, the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation UK, the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust and The Pears Foundation. A complete list of national funders can be found here.
