Equality Summit

On September 29th & 30th 2008, the second Equality Summit will take place in the heart of Paris at the Institut du Monde Arabe.

Following the first Equality Summit organised under the German presidency at the launch of the 2007 European Year of Equal Opportunities for All, the summit will provide an opportunity for an update on the commitments made during the European Year and in particular in the Council Resolution adopted in November 2007.

The summit is co-organised by the European Commission and the French Presidency of the Council. Bringing together more than 400 high level delegates, it will also give new impetus to the fight against discriminations and the promotion of equality by creating a longer term perspective, the next step of which will be the summit to be organised in 2009 under the Swedish presidency.
