Mediation

Partners of the Budapest Platform (established in 2010) are common in their mission of mediation between the local, the national and the European level. Mediation is crucial because without this proper information on policy documents and legal provisions under preparation related to cross-border cooperation at national and EU level cannot reach local stakeholders who will be responsible for the implementation of those regulations; and vica versa: the preparation of decisions will be inadequate without the knowledge of interests and capacities of local stakeholders.

As an international organisation CESCI has developed a professional partnership not only with the Hungarian government but with those of neighbouring countries as well and uses this network of relations for improving the performance of cross-border cooperation. Our association takes part in several professional networks and platforms in Europe. Besides, CESCI is involved in networking of local stakeholders in Central Europe.

As a service provider CESCI helps cooperation by:

• providing access to a wide range of information
• managing a permanent workshop of EGTCs with Hungarian participation
• taking part in the preparatory phase of decision-making at national and EU level
• preparing policy background papers, analyses and proposals
• organisation professional events, conferences and training courses related to cross-border activities
• developing partnerships.
