Members, both individual and corporate, come from a cross section of political parties, interest groups, public and private sector organisations, academics and practitioners.
The European Movement, through a wide range of activities plays an active role in shaping Irish attitudes to Europe, influencing the policy process and promoting public discussion on key issues relating to Europe's development and their implications for Ireland. Activities include organisation of conferences, lectures and briefings on European developments, submissions to government, provision of an information service and a monthly newsletter on European affairs. The European Movement also organises a number of prestigious European awards and educational competitions.
The European Movement Ireland operates a system of stagiaires. The stagiaires commit to a three month period and work full time providing assistance to the staff of the Movement. This system enables stagiaires to gain valuable experience within a European organisation.
