Great kick-off today! I’m excited about this research project on how to integrate non-standard workers in social dialogue! #integratedialogue #HorizonEU @adamsumichrast.bsky.social @valepuligna.bsky.social @claudiamarat.bsky.social @sigurdoppegaard.bsky.social @kristinalsos.bsky.social
Social dialogue is a cornerstone of the EU’s social market economy. A strong partnership between representatives of employers and employees is key to better working conditions, growth, and sustainability in Europe.
