EURES Social Partner Cooperation

The overall objectives of the call are to facilitate workers' intra-EU labour mobility, to boost employment opportunities as well as to support the implementation of the EURES Regulation.

The ultimate goal of the call is to facilitate the job matching, placement and recruitment process on a fair basis.

The application must specify which category is covered by each activity proposed.

The actions should tackle the most relevant issues, as identified in the latest available data analysis.

Each activity must be linked with a results indicator and a specific target to be achieved during the action. Indicators have to be specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-bound.

This topic shall support European social partner organisations observers in the Advisory Committee on Free Movement of Workers to inform about, coordinate and to facilitate intra-EU labour mobility among their member organisations and to ensure that those member organisations, which are also part of the EURES network, are well aligned to the objectives of EURES.
