What we do
The main task of the office is to advocate for and advise on the EU interests of our member organisations, as well as to promote their visibility in various EU forums through strategically informing the representatives of the EU institutions and stakeholders about the expertise and projects of our partners. We promote the competitiveness and operating conditions of our member organisations in Finland and Europe.
