PUBLIC EVENTS IN-PERSON, BRUSSELS, BELGIUM
CU SECTORAL MEETINGS, HYBRID
It is our absolute pleasure to invite you to attend the 2024 European Ceramic Days (24ECD), to be held on 2-3-4 December 2024 in Brussels, and more particularly to the European Parliament Ceramics Forum (EPCF) to take place on 3 December at the exquisite Library Solvay, which will be followed by the EPCF & CU Cocktail and Walking Dinner in the same location.
This year, the EPCF Plenary Meetings will focus on 2 key topics concerning the EU ceramic industry:
EPCF Panel 1 | Open but fair: How can EU trade policy win a global competitive edge for EU manufacturing?
EPCF Panel 2 | The Future of Housing in the EU: Affordable & Sustainable
The CU Public Conference on the topic “Building a Stronger Europe: The Future of EU manufacturing”, will take place on 4 December at ARTS 56, following the Cerame-Unie General Assembly.
We are happy to announce that the 24ECD will be held as an in-person event. However, CU Members will still be able to join the Sectoral Meetings remotely (via MS TEAMS conference calls).
The European Ceramic Days is an annual event that brings together high-level representatives of the European Ceramic Industry with officials and policymakers from national and EU authorities. Every year we welcome high-level speakers and representatives from the European Commission, Members States and Members of the European Parliament, to discuss policy topics that directly impact the European ceramic industry.
If you are a CU Member or interested in participating, please contact the CU Secretariat to secure your registration (events@cerameunie.eu).
We would be honoured to welcome you to all or part of these events.
Important Note: Registrations are subject to confirmation by the Cerame-Unie Secretariat. Please note that the Public Events of the 24ECD (EPCF Plenary Meetings, EPCF & CU Cocktail and Dinner & CU Public Conference) are limited to the capacity of the venues.
