The EU-Russia Civil Society Forum was established in 2011 by non-governmental organisations as a permanent common platform. At the moment, 148 NGOs from Russia and the European Union are member of the Forum. It aims at development of cooperation between civil society

organisations from Russia and EU and greater participation of NGOs in the EU-Russia dialogue. The Forum has been actively involved, inter alia, in the questions of facilitation of visa regime,

development of civic participation, protection of the environment and human rights, dealing with history, and civic education.
