Partnership between Transform and the European Left

Responding to a call of the European Commission in September 2007, Transform and the European Left submitted a joint project and since then have further developed their cooperation. In 2007 and 2008 Transform and the EL coorganised the EL Summer University and presented a joint programme at the European Social Forum, the Humanite Festival etc. Transform and the EL have organised seminars and conferences about political, economic and cultural issues in Europe.
