Mission & Interests
Goals: Eurocarers seeks to advance the recognition of informal care and represent and act on behalf of all carers, former carers (and their organisations), irrespective of their age or the particular health need of the person they are caring for.
Among its principal aims are
- The exchange, gathering and dissemination of experience, expertise and good practice, as well as innovations;
- Contributing to policy development at national as well as European level supported by evidence-based research:
- by acting as a voice for carers and advocating on issues relevant to carers,
- by transmitting and ‘translating’ relevant EU policy developments to members operating at national and regional level, and vice versa.
The Association will also function as a springboard for (cooperation on) specific pan-European projects.

Mainstreaming of different aspects of these matters in EU and national policies.
2) Support stakeholder involvement in the policy process: Support to our national and regional member organisations – and all other relevant stakeholders - in their involvement in the implementation, at national level, of major political EU driven processes.
3) Disseminate information and transfer knowledge on EU policies and policies to both specialised and general audiences through a variety of communications means.
4) Providing data and strong evidence base on policy developments and trends, as well as collection of relevant information about citizens' concerns and good practices (using the knowledge bank) in the social policy field in the Member States, so as to contribute to better policy making.
