On 26 February 2026, IBEI and Casa Amèrica Catalunya, with the support of the MSCA Doctoral Network LAC-EU and the Jean Monnet Network EULAS, hosted the roundtable Towards Care Societies: The EU and Latin America and the Caribbean in the Face of the New Bi-regional Care Pact. The event brought together leading voices from across the EU–LAC space, with contributions from Ana Güezmes García (ECLAC), Anna Barrera (EU-LAC Foundation), Andrea Costafreda (Government of Catalonia), Inma Alonso (Former Coordinator of the EU–LAC Civil Society Working Group), and Leire Pajín Iraola (Member of the European Parliament), to reflect on the scope and implications of the Bi-regional Care Pact, approved at the CELAC–EU Summit in Santa Marta, Colombia, in November 2025, and to explore how both regions can work together to build fairer and more inclusive care societies.
