5th meeting of Coordination Group on Global Policy Dialogue

In line with the Terms of Reference for the Coordination Group on Global Policy Dialogue (CG GPD), the 5th meeting provided an opportunity to share and collect on the work carried out by the Global Policy Forum Statement drafting group, in particular on the first draft (V1) of the Statement. This draft builds on the outcomes of previous CG GPD meetings, which involved the participation of representatives of macro-regions. It has also been discussed with macro-regional representatives during an ad hoc meeting held on 13th May 2026.

The 5th CG GPD further served to update members on the state of play regarding the organisation of the EHEA Ministerial Conference and the Global Policy Forum in Iași-Chișinău, scheduled to take place on 26th – 27th of May 2027.

This meeting was the fifth organised under the BFUG mandate and the third supported by the umbrella project GLOBAL 2030 – Support for the CG on Global Policy Dialogue, co-funded by the European Union under the Erasmus+ programme. A dedicated agenda item was included to provide updates on the activities carried out within the project, as well as on the progress of its deliverables.
