The event was hosted by DG DEVCO and Unit B2 – Resilience, Fragility in cooperation with European Think Tanks Group (ETTG) researchers, European Institutions and with representatives from civil society. 

During the event the ETTG Policy Brief “EU humanitarian aid: Caught between nexus and independence” was presented by the leading author of the publication Ms Ina Friesen ( DIE researcher) who represented  the ETTG Network.
