In the framework of the Horizon Europe project RECLAIM, on 18 October 2024 the Trans European Policy Studies Association (TEPSA) organised the event “RECLAIM Breakfast Roundtable: Democracy through Policy Dialogue”.
This closed-door event aimed to facilitate a constructive and interactive dialogue between policy makers and project researchers. Designed to connect RECLAIM’s academic findings with practical policy needs, the event fostered open, small-group roundtable discussions. As practitioners responsible for policy implementation, participants from the policy realm were able to share insights grounded in their hands-on experience with project researchers. The discussions, held under Chatham House rule, helped refine the project’s recommendations to ensure they are viable, impactful, and aligned with the needs of contemporary liberal democracies in Europe.
