Theme: Work organisation and workplace learning: Creating a win-win environment

On 19 November 2015, Eurofound, Cedefop and the EESC will hold a joint event to present recent findings and initiatives on work organisation and workplace learning, including the results of Eurofound’s 3rd European Company Survey and Cedefop’s European Skills and Jobs Survey.

The half-day event will bring together up to 200 representatives from national authorities, European institutions, enterprises, trade unions, civil society and academia to explore and debate work organisation and skill development practises that benefit both employers and employees.

The event marks the 40 year anniversary of Cedefop and Eurofound - the two longest established EU Agencies - and recognises the EESC’s support in setting up the Agencies as well as its strong tripartite role in EU policymaking. Both Agencies are tripartite organisations with a governing structure of employers, trade unions and governments.

Keynote speakers:
•    Nicolas Schmit, President of the Council of EU Employment Ministers 
•    Pavel Trantina, President of the EESC Section on Employment, Social Affairs and Citizenship (SOC)
