Director’s diary
One year after enlarging the European Union to include the 10 new Member States on 1 May 2004, the Foundation recently received praise from its stakeholders for its ‘seamless integration of experts and tripartite representatives’ into its research projects, administrative board and staff. As outlined in our recently published Annual report 2004, the Foundation’s profile has improved greatly as a result of more focused and timely research and dissemination to all 25 Member States. Findings of the European Quality of Life Survey presented in seven EU Member States during the second half of 2004, for example, have reached an estimated 10 million people through reports in national media.
This month will see the launch of the comprehensive public tender notice for the supply of information, editing and dissemination services for the Foundation’s European Industrial Relations Observatory (EIRO), the European Working Conditions Observatory (EWCO), the European Restructuring Monitor (ERM) and the Foundation’s National Liaison Centres (NLCs). It is hoped the new initiative will help boost the Foundation’s efforts to optimise the communication and dissemination of its work.

Acting Director
