United Europe's Working Groups

We are pleased to announce the establishment of the United Europe Working Groups 2024. These groups aim to address key European areas of interest and provide a platform for our members to contribute within the United Europe network.

The timeframe for each working group is set at approximately one year, encompassing three meetings (in person and online).
