For over 50 years, Eurofound has provided evidence-based research, data and analysis to inform EU policymakers. At this week-long exhibition, Eurofound’s experts showcased fresh findings on topics that are at the heart of Europe’s priorities – such as AI in the workplace, affordable housing, employment, a just transition, industrial relations, inequalities, the future of work, and more.

Exhibition

The exhibition also kicked off Eurofound’s 50th anniversary celebrations and was a unique opportunity to engage with experts, explore new data from the Agency’s surveys on living and working conditions, and see how its evidence-based research can support EU priorities and the European Parliament’s policy and legislative work.

Alongside the exhibition a programme of events also took place at the European Parliament.
