General information / approach:

Hungary is contributing to the common dialogue by a large number of events. Our flagship institutional events consist of both high-level international conferences organised by several ministries (Ministry of Justice, Prime Minister's Office, Minister for Families) with the participation of foreign dignitaries and EU commissioners, and of roundtable discussions with students and youth organisations.

Six national citizens’ panels are organised by Nézőpont Intézet, Alapjogokért Központ and Századvég Alapítvány.
