On 19-21 May, Elena Lazarou represented ELIAMEP at the EPICON Closing Summit Berlin, Germany. The Summit marked the conclusion of the EPICON (European-Palestinian-Israeli Trilateral Dialogue Initiative) led by the Candid Foundation and financed by the European Commission.
During 2025 and 2026 the initiative sought to facilitate encounters between Israeli and Palestinian peace camp supporters and European opinion leaders with the aim of reassessing the political realities in Israel and Palestine, exploring what a meaningful, joint engagement towards a just political solution should look like, as well as developing actionable steps for European states to support such a process. The initiative aims to develop concrete proposals for peace, security, and prosperity in Israel and Palestine through structured dialogue among Israeli and Palestinian experts, as well as policymakers from the 27 EU member states.
The final meeting brought together experts, researchers, and policymakers from Europe and the Middle East. The opening speeches were delivered by Christophe Bigot, EU Special Envoy for the Middle East Peace Process, and Daniel Gerlach, Director of the Candid Foundation.
