As Europe stares down crises on many fronts, the need for change has never been more urgent. And whilst the Union struggles to strike a fresh course, Euractiv unveils a bold new website.
More than just a facelift, the new website is the latest in a series of major changes as Euractiv cements itself as an invaluable news source in Brussels, and across Europe. A more responsive platform allows us to bring readers the most important coverage – from breaking news, to analysis, to expert opinions.
