Founded in 1959 as “CERP Education & Research”, in 2000 it turned to “EUPRERA”: European Public Relations Education and Research Association. EUPRERA is an autonomous organisation that aims at stimulating and promoting innovative knowledge and practices of public relations education and research in Europe. EUPRERA cooperates with the most prominent PR associations, scientific journals and practitioners coming from different countries.

EUPRERA has the following objectives at the European level:

Today is Europe Day,  the European Union’s annual celebration of peace and unity on the Continent. The holiday commemorates a 1950 speech by Robert Schuman, the French foreign minister at the time, that set out the case for a European Coal and Steel Community. This was the core of what became the European Union. Though most of the Continent is mercifully free of war, an accomplishment for which the European Union won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2012, it is facing more challenges than ever.

This is due mainly to the complexity of procedure involved in taking action. The impression is that only well established CSOs based in Brussels have the capacity to use the instruments put in place by the EU institutions. In addition, there are no instruments to ensure the active participation of marginalised groups.

In advocacy work, you often want all the support you can get. You can think of possible support as arranged in concentric circles. The innermost circle contains you and your closest, most committed allies- your core group. The next circle out contains your natural allies- those individuals and organizations that share your beliefs and values, and stand to benefit or see their values confirmed by the success of your advocacy effort.

The latin word explanare is at the root of explanatory and it’s literal meaning is ‘to make level or to flatten’. The Fouloy’s Explanatory Lobbying Dictionary seeks to clarify and to explain the lobbying terminology. It provides all the details one needs to understand the lobbying field. It contains the definitions of the words used by lobbyists including elaborate entries on the technical terms, the meaning and usage of the words.

The EU is giving voice to certain excluded groups and addressing important imbalances in the European advocacy landscape, but this function may not necessarily be unbiased. The EU only supports CSOs engaging in advocacy activities within the limits of the competences conferred by the treaties.
