The pandemic-driven redesigning of the European Commission’s institution building instruments TAIEX and Twinning has created new opportunities for sharing EU expertise.
As events are carried out via cameras and microphones, two successful virtual TAIEX events – on the Green Deal and EU digital policy – have been transformed into webinar series for the first time. They are now available to public administrations worldwide to promote Commission priorities – and the new digital opportunities of TAIEX. Each expert presentation has been subtitled in multiple languages.
In the first 12 months of fully virtual TAIEX, the instrument had on average 50% more attendees and was able to mobilise& 58% more experts per event than in the 12 months preceding the pandemic. More speakers make for more interesting, dynamic events and more participants mean more impact on the ground.
