Our Team

The S&D Group secretariat (central administration) is based in the European Parliament in the heart of Brussels.  Our 250 staff of multicultural backgrounds, not only from all the 27 member states but also much further afield, are committed to providing dedicated support for the work of the members and for the overall functioning of the S&D Group.

The secretariat has three key roles:

  • to offer political advice, information and research to support political decision-making
  • to assist in policy development and negotiation
  • to provide logistical support and technical assistance for Group activities
UNIT: STRATEGIC PLANNING AND INFORMATION CAMPAIGN

The Strategic Planning and Information Campaign Unit works to coordinate the S&D Group’s strategy, particularly on the information campaign for citizens ahead of the 2024 European elections. Key priorities for the team include:

  • Political planning to maximise the S&D Group’s exposure and visibility.
  • Collecting and analysing accurate and relevant polling data for the information campaign.
  • Monitoring the activities of the political Groups in the European Parliament and national political parties.
