Held one day after the expected release of the 2026 Enlargement Package, the forum by GMF brings EU institutions, Ukrainian decision-makers and civil society into one conversation on what rule-of-law reforms require next. In line with the objectives of the EU Enlargement Forum, it aims to turn the Commission's assessment into concrete next steps: identifying which benchmarks have been met and where implementation lags behind legislation, examining how EU institutions can use their leverage to keep negotiations on track, and assessing whether the conditionality attached to EU macro-financial support is driving lasting institutional change.

The event will focus on the presentation of the findings of a study by Ukrainian Centre for European Policy (UCEP) and the Centre of Policy and Legal Reform on public administration reform coordination models. The study identifies the absence of a clearly designated owner of this policy, explains why the existing coordination mechanism does not work, and proposes three models, providing a rationale for the preferred option. The purpose of the discussion is to gather views and proposals from the institutions responsible for coordinating the reform so that the study’s recommendations can be taken into account in future decision-making.

Will the new team manage to catch up on key Ukraine Plan indicators? What steps are needed in the near term to keep up the pace of cooperation with the IMF and the EU? And who in the government and parliament will be responsible for ensuring reforms don't stall again? Join the event by RRR4U Consortium to find out.

The discussion by Institute for Economic Research and Policy Consulting (IER) and Warsaw Enterprise Institute (WEI) will focus on the opportunities and risks associated with Ukraine's European integration, including its impact on the agri-food sector and trade, as well as the conditions under which EU enlargement could serve as a driver of growth rather than a source of imbalance.

The Ukrainian economy remains highly dependent on steady external financing. This stability is now under pressure due to the ongoing parliamentary crisis, which is complicating the passage of legislation under the “money in exchange for reforms” framework. At the same time, the government has been hesitant to commit to some politically sensitive reforms. How large is the current shortfall in the state budget? And could the EU’s €90 billion loan be put at risk if Ukraine fails to meet all IMF conditions? Join the event by RRR4U consortium of Ukrainian civil society organisations to find out.

EU countries increasingly view Ukraine as a large neighbouring market, a source of labour and human capital, a partner in manufacturing and logistics, and a future member of the European Union. At the same time, public and political debates in neighbouring countries are often accompanied by concerns about competition in sensitive sectors. The event by Centre for Economic Strategy aims to explore how Ukraine, in its relations with Poland, Romania, Slovakia and the Czech Republic, can mutually benefit from deepening economic cooperation in the context of the current war, future recovery and Ukraine’s accession to the EU.

CSRD, CSDDD, ESG — these acronyms are rapidly becoming part of the everyday vocabulary of Ukrainian agribusinesses and advisory services. In fact, there is nothing radically new about them — they reflect the principles of sustainable development that EU countries have long acknowledged and embedded into policy. However, in Ukraine, despite over two decades of promoting the UN Sustainable Development Goals and awareness-raising efforts, real understanding only began to take root when sustainability reporting became a formal requirement within the EU integration process.

In the Eastern Partnership (EaP) region, achieving environmental and climate resilience remains a challenge, further exacerbated by Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, whose consequences are impacting the whole region. The war caused enormous damage to the nature, polluted the air, water and soil, and led to increased greenhouse gas emissions. The war also influenced many aspects of ongoing reforms in the EaP countries, caused a slow down in the energy transition, and a further decline of environmental and climate priorities. The event by the Eastern Partnership Civil Society Forum will focus on the main environment and security challenges in the EaP countries and highlights the extent to which energy and climate change challenges impact environmental security in the region.
