Call for the 2025 Young Changemakers’ Academy!

Mario Draghi warned that without bold reforms, our continent risks irrelevance and recent events prove him right. Together with Renew Europe on 3rd of September, at the Anniversary of the Draghi Report, we’ll assess what’s been achieved, where Europe is falling short, and which reforms are necessary to keep Europe competitive.

Organising Freedom is a project that brings together organisational leaders from European liberal organisations through a series of events aimed at mutual learning and exchange. The focus is on how we organise, engage, and evolve in response to changing societal needs.

“Supporting diplomatic communities in understanding illiberal tendencies”, MLS is promoting, in Lisbon, a workshop to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of Portuguese democracy, with the participation of members of the diplomatic corps based in Portugal.  

We will examine the European
Union’s capacity to act independently in key areas such as security, defence, technology, and economic resilience, while also considering the broader implications for the EU’s global role in light of today’s complex challenges.

The Innovation Policy Lab (IPL), a joint initiative by the European Liberal Forum (ELF) and the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom Europe (FNF Europe), strives for new and innovative solutions for issues of our time. It is the space to think out of the box and come up with new solutions beyond the usual frameworks.

We are very pleased to invite you to the 2025 Autumn ELF General Assembly, which will take place in Brussels, Belgium from the 24th until the 25th of September 2025.

ELF HUB at Freedom Games 2025 is a meeting of individuals open to new ideas. The strategic goal of the project is to reinforce European dialogue from the liberal perspective. All leading topics constitute the key areas where Europe has been struggling in respective EU member states or as a whole. As such, it is vital to start a debate on these issues, as only a comprehensive and inclusive dialogue may foster a way forward on an equal footing for all European states, regardless of geopolitical or historical implications. 

Exploring the intersection of technology, democracy, and strategic autonomy in Europe. From the environmental cost of green tech to the governance of AI and Europe’s place in the digital geopolitical race, this forum dives deep into the policy, ethics, and innovation shaping our digital future.

The Liberal Partnership Days are an opportunity to actively engage and discuss European and global challenges with liberal leaders and stakeholders from across the world. The focus for this year’s edition will be security and resilient democracy. We are excited to welcome you in The Hague between 20-21 November 2025.
