Management Board

28 Julio 2023

Eurofound's Management Board represents the social partners and national governments of all Member States, as well as the European Commission. It also has one independent expert appointed by the European Parliament. It is assisted by an Executive Board of eight members. The Executive Board is set up with the task of preparing the meetings of the Management Board in an appropriate manner and supporting its decision-making and monitoring processes. The Executive Board meets at least three times a year, usually in Brussels.

In April 2022, the Management Board adopted a decision that representatives of six EU Agencies will participate in meetings of the Board as observers. This includes the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA), the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training (Cedefop), the European Labour Authority (ELA), the European Training Foundation (ETF), the European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE) and the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA).

The mandate of the Board was renewed on 1 April 2023 until 31 March 2027.  The Council Decision appointing the new members is available here. On appointment, members of the Board must complete a Declaration of Interests and provide a short Curriculum Vitae. These forms will be published on the website below.

Note: The member for the government of Denmark and the alternate for the trade unions in Slovakia are currently vacant.
