Opportunities for Organisers

The ECI Forum offers newly registered European citizens' initiatives an Online Tailor-made Welcome Call! 

This is your opportunity to ask any questions you may have about your initiative before the start of your campaign! 

Once your initiative is officially registered by the European Commission, the ECI Forum contacts you via email and invites you to attend an online tailor-made training session (in English) which includes an overview of the signature collection process, the support tools available and campaigning advice.
