New Tool for Monitoring Ukraine–EU Relations.”

Purpose of the event:
To present a newly developed tool for continuous monitoring of Ukraine’s
integration into the EU’s economic and institutional space. The discussion
aims to improve understanding of the current state and dynamics of the
integration process, disseminate reliable and up-to-date information,
stimulate public dialogue, and strengthen the role of civil society in
Ukraine’s preparation for EU membership.
Background:
Public debate in Ukraine is increasingly focused on the potential formats
and timelines of EU accession. While accession requirements are well-defined
and recent political developments may help unblock negotiation processes,
the implementation of reforms—particularly legislative alignment—often faces
delays. As a result, the broader picture of Ukraine’s gradual and
multifaceted integration into the EU’s single market and institutions is
sometimes overlooked.
About the tool:
In response, IER has developed the Integration Dashboard, a dynamic
monitoring instrument covering:
• key statistical indicators (trade, investment, migration),
• progress in sectoral integration under the Association Agreement,
• assessments of readiness for EU membership,
• dynamics of preparation efforts,
• Ukraine’s participation in EU agencies and programs.
The latter is supported by a dedicated study presented in the report
“Invisible Integration: Ukraine’s Participation in EU Agencies and
Programs.”
Discussion focus:
The presentation of the Integration Dashboard and the report will serve as a
basis for discussing the current level of Ukraine’s economic and
institutional integration and identifying practical approaches to advancing
integration ahead of full EU membership.
📎 Agenda: attached
We would be honored by your participation.
