Time – 11:00-12:30 CEST.
The Report on the State of Civil Society of the EU-Russia Civil Society Forum reflects on the current situation in a range of civil society organisations (CSOs) across Europe. The report presents key trends in the sector, the challenges that some CSOs face and their responses to these, as illustrated by concrete examples. The 2020 issue examines the current state of CSOs in Austria, France and Russia, and also dedicates a special chapter to the impact of COVID-19 on civil society across Europe and Russia.
