Civil Society Europe is the coordination of civil society organisations at EU level

Through its membership, CSE reaches out to millions of people active in or supported by not-for-profits and civil society organisations across the EU. Civil Society Europe was created by several civil society organisations as a follow-up to the European Year of Citizens and was established as an international not-for-profit under Belgian law in 2016. Since then, Civil Society Europe has become the point of reference for EU institutions on transversal issues concerning civil dialogue and civic space.
