EU Agencies - supporting the Social Model
Eurofound and three of its sister Agencies are joining forces to demonstrate the contribution they make to strengthening the European Social Model, particularly in the context of the economic crisis and the social challenges arising from it.
Together with the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training (Cedefop), the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA) and the European Training Foundation (ETF), Eurofound is presenting its work in a joint seminar on 25 September in Brussels entitled ‘The European Social Model – a key driver for competitiveness’. Participants will discuss how social policies and policies on employment and work can improve the circumstances of workers, businesses and young people, while placing Europe on the path to recovery. Held under the auspices of the European Parliament’s Employment and Social Affairs Committee, the event has a panel of speakers that includes László Andor, Commissioner for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion, Xavier Prats Monné, Deputy Director-General for Education and Culture, and Juan Menéndez-Valdés, Director of Eurofound.
