Own The Future!

With climate change, pandemic, energy crisis, rising inflation and the changing geopolitical landscape, many people feel that our future has become more unpredictable than ever before. The future is upon us, but we, liberals should embrace change, and instead of fearing what is coming, we should shape the agenda for a freer and fairer world. Our vision is a liberal, prosperous Europe that provides opportunities for all citizens, and where the EU's liberal values of freedom, democracy, equality, and human rights are defended.

Techno-Politics Forum 2025

ELF’s Techno-Politics Forum is coming back with new ideas and new faces. Join us for the fourth edition of the Techno-Politics Forum, a full-day event exploring the intersection of technology, democracy, and strategic autonomy in Europe. Techno-Politics Forum creates a community around the crossover between technology, politics, and sustainability. Once again, we’re gathering top expert MEPs, policymakers, industry and civil society representatives to discuss the digital and sustainability agenda post-2024 European elections.

Supporting Civil Society

As global democracy faces mounting threats, civil society remains a crucial pillar for defending liberty, human rights, and the rule of law. Our new Policy Paper explores how the EU can reinforce its commitment to civil society both within and beyond its borders. The paper outlines the critical need for structured civil dialogue between EU institutions and civil society organisations (CSOs), calling for an inter-institutional framework to enhance transparency, participation, and accountability.

Reconstructing the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP)

The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has long been the solid framework of the European agricultural sector, but the current financing and delivery model, which allocates subsidies based on land area rather than efficiency or innovation, is increasingly misaligned with the EU’s broader economic, environmental, and technological ambitions. We need a CAP that is adaptable, resilient, and forward-looking.

Liberal Awards 2025

The European Liberal Forum is presenting the fifth edition of the Liberal Awards, which celebrates the champions of liberal values and ideas and ensures their recognition and impact at the European level. The project aims to put the spotlight on and celebrate the achievements of liberal figures, stakeholders, changemakers and activists during the 2025 ALDE Congress, taking place in Brussels on 24-25 October.
