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.
