EIGE attends the biannual meeting of the Commission's High level group on gender mainstreaming (HLG) which brings together representatives of Member States in charge of gender equality and gender mainstreaming at national level. 

During the meeting EIGE will present its latest work on the topic of gender equality and work-life balance. EIGE will also meet the EU Trio presidencies to discuss how EIGE's work can support gender mainstreaming into the presidencies' agendas. 

The HLG plays a key role in the context of the EU gender equality agenda, including coordination and the exchange of information regarding the implementation of the EU Gender Equality Strategy and the activities of the presidencies. 

The meeting is jointly organised by the EU Council Presidency and the European Commission.
