The member and observer organizations and the staff members from across Europe have been discussing the activities led previously this year, as well as the projects to be set up in 2015. The main idea is to develop real European-wide working teams on the projects. Soon our core projects for 2015 (Productive Reconstruction, Crisis, History, Science and Democracy, New World Order and the Challenges of the Left, Left Strategy, Far and Populist Right, Feminism, Central and Eastern Europe) will be presented in detail.
