An initial work plan for 2026 has been developed, which will be discussed in detail at the Fifth ECoPP Plenary Meeting in Brussels (February 3^rd, 2026). 

In 2026, we will continue to develop activities and outputs in the following groups:

• ECCP Group – to raise awareness and develop ideas and activities for sharing information on the partnership principle and the ECCP (this will be composed of members of the ECoPP core group).
• Partnership Advocacy Group – informed by the work of the ECCP group, members will act as liaison points between the ECoPP and the Managing Authorities in their respective member states, and with EU institutions. Their role will involve sharing the latest thinking on implementation of the partnership principle and the ECCP, and providing examples of how this is being applied in their countries and regions.
• Webinar Groups – these groups will plan and develop content for two webinars in 2026 on the following topics: 

Webinar Group 1: Beyond the ECoPP: Partnership in wider EU funds and programmes (June 2026)

Webinar Group 2: Monitoring Committee role and remits (October 2026)

• Informal groups that will explore the possibility of exploring particular issues or practices of interest to ECoPP members. 

Each group will hold a session to discuss its work during the Fifth ECoPP Plenary Meeting.
