The EWPCC Conferences regularly bring together employee representatives and other practitioners, academic experts, trade unions and policy-makers to discuss relevant research and debate topical issues around workers’ participation.
The next EWPCC Conference will focus on legal enforcement of EWC and SE-WC rights.
During the plenary session, there will be presentations by experts from different sectors. A ‘question and answer’ session will give the opportunity to the participants to get involved and to ask specific questions on various topics related to the rights of SNBs, EWCs, and SE-Works Councils.
Discussions and practical exchanges with the participants of the conference will also be organised in working group sessions.
You will find below the topics for each working group and you will be asked to make a choice for one working group you wish to attend which interests you most.
The conference will close with an exchange of ideas and open discussion with the participants about the results of the conference.
Members of EWCs and SE-Works Council and board-level employee representatives are warmly invited to the conference, as are trade union and academic experts in this field.
