Foundation Forum 2013 - Social and employment policies for a fair and competitive Europe

Foundation Forum,14–15 February 2013, Dublin Castle, Dublin, Ireland

The Foundation Forum, which takes place every four years in Dublin, is Eurofound’s ‘flagship’ event. It is designed to provide a high-level forum for debate and discussion of key social policy issues facing Member States. The Forum brings together leading decision-makers and opinion-formers, together with academic experts, in a neutral setting to promote the exchange of new ideas and experiences on subjects of policy relevance and within the Foundation’s competence.

The fifth edition of the Forum will be dedicated to the theme of ‘Social and employment policies for a fair and competitive Europe’.

Through panel sessions, plenary debates and interactive technologies, Forum participants will address the most pressing issues in this area to come up with original, workable solutions that can potentially feed into the policymaking process.

The Forum is organised with the support of the Irish government.
