ETTG Dialogues are critical forums where policy makers and experts convene to address pressing issues in global and EU development.

These carefully curated gatherings foster open exchange and generate actionable insights that inform policy development. Our dialogues have established a reputation for meaningful engagement on complex challenges facing the international development landscape. 

ETTG Annual Dialogues on development have taken place in Germany (Berlin), Spain (Madrid), and Italy (Rome), bringing together EU policymakers, member state representatives, and leading experts to discuss the EU’s evolving role in global partnerships. Additionally, our Finance Dialogues have been hosted in France (Paris), focusing on topics such as international financial architecture reform ahead of major global conferences.

The hosting of ETTG Dialogues rotates among the members of our network, with each institution bringing its unique perspective and regional expertise from France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands and Spain. This rotational approach ensures diverse geographical perspectives while enhancing collaboration across our member institutions. These are an extension of ETTG’s commitment to facilitating nuanced conversations that bridge policy divides and strengthen the EU’s contribution to global development cooperation.
