Director’s diary
In an effort to be ever more targeted and concise in providing timely and pertinent information on issues of the highest importance in the European social policy sphere, this new look Communiqué is just one of several improvements made to facilitate communication with the Foundation’s target audiences. With new research on the ageing workforce, on quality of work and quality of life, and management of change taking place during 2005, we also look forward to contributing to the European Union’s mid-term review of the Lisbon strategy in 2005. This month, we will bring the findings of the European Quality of Life Survey to government representatives, social partners, and civil society in Austria. A similar visit will take place in Hungary during February. The first steps have been taken towards completing the Fourth European Working Conditions Survey, this time including Switzerland and possibly Norway and the four candidate countries. The final touches are being made to the annual report on Industrial Relations in the EU, Japan and USA, which will be published within the coming weeks and the Foundation’s own annual report is now in production.
