2015 is the European Year for Development
The European Development Days (EDD15) are being organized in Brussels by the European Commission

Major issues and objectives of development policy for the post-2015 period will be defined and debated during the European Development Days (EDD15). This will be the flagship event of the European Year for Development, whose motto is ?Our world, our dignity, our future?.

The forum will bring together more than 4,000 participants, including leading EU political figures such as European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker; Melinda Gates, the president of the 69th session of the General Assembly of the UN, Sam Kutesa, as well heads of state and governments and NGO representatives to discuss and exchange ideas across a broad range of topics.

Within this framework, the European Journalism Centre and Europeaid, the European Commission's DG for International Cooperation and Development, are offering around 12 selected journalists from the EU28 member states the opportunity to attend a press seminar alongside the European Development Days, including an introductory briefing ahead of the event, in order to get a closer look at the proceedings. Journalists will also obtain exclusive access to some of the developing world's top decision-makers and stakeholders.

The introductory briefing will take place on 2 June, followed by the EDD on 3-4 June.

Journalists with a solid reporting background in the areas of international relations and development should register online for this major media event.
