Compared to other political foundations in Europe, the European Liberal Forum's independent status is much more pronounced.[2] ELF is open to all types of liberal actors, provided they subscribe to the ideas represented by the European Liberals. Additionally, ELF provides ALDE with the scientific input toward policy development, thus contributing to the European public debate, and it presents liberal proposals and views towards the wider public in EU Member States.
The European Liberal Forum organized series of events Reviving Eastern Partnership in Kiev, Chișinău and Tbilisi. The speakers in Tbilisi - Dionis Cenusa, Leo Litra, Daniel Kaddik, Sergiu Boghean, Shamil Shugaev, George Melashvili - aimed to identify and compile the current trends, current problems and best practices from Eastern Partnership member countries, especially from Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia. The event in Tbilisi was organized in cooperation with Friedrich Naumann Foundation and Europe-Georgia Institute.
