European Commission’s EU Enlargement Forum to take place in Brussels on 18 November
The first edition of the European Commission’s EU Enlargement Forum will take place on 18 November 2025 in Brussels. The event will be hosted by EU Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos, European Council President António Costa, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and European Commissioner for Defence and Space Andrius Kubilius, who will also participate in the meeting.
The Forum will bring together a broad and diverse range of participants under the slogan “Completing the Union, Securing Our Future”. High-level EU, national, and regional leaders, civil society representatives, entrepreneurs, artists, youth voices, and policy experts from EU institutions, Member States, and enlargement countries will engage in dialogue.
“The event comes at a time when enlargement has gained renewed momentum as a driver of stability, prosperity and democratic reform across the continent,” says a press release by the Directorate-General for Enlargement and Eastern Neighbourhood (DG ENEST) of the European Commission. “Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine has profoundly changed Europe’s geopolitical landscape, underlining that the Union is stronger, more secure and more competitive when it stands together. For the first time in a generation, the prospect of a larger Union is within reach.”
According to DG ENEST, the Enlargement Forum will serve as the Commission’s flagship initiative to elevate enlargement as a shared political, societal and generational project.
