Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, has initiated fourteen project groups to coordinate key subjects and implement cross-sectoral policies effectively. These groups will guide initiatives from start to finish, with each having a unique mandate, members, and methods for a year, extendable as needed. Each group is led by a College member, ensuring success in meeting its objectives.
Key projects:
- Clean Industrial Deal co-chaired by Teresa Ribera, Stéphane Séjourné, and Wopke Hoekstra.
- Artificial Intelligence chaired by Henna Virkkunen.
- And more themes including External Action, Skills & Jobs, and Economic Security.
Background
These groups are set under the Commissions guidelines, matching political priorities outlined in President von der Leyens guidelines from 2024. They ensure collaboration, consistency, and strategic focus without disrupting decision-making.
Project groups may be expanded for new priorities as needed.
