Celebrating 30 years of EURES: Fair work anywhere in Europe
What can we expect from the campaign?
As we gear up for an exciting 12-month celebration spanning 31 participating countries, we invite you to join us in commemorating three decades of EURES service. Our campaign, named '30 years of EURES: Fair work anywhere in Europe', promises a deep dive into EURES, exploring its evolution, successes and the vital role it plays in fostering fair labour mobility across the continent.
Our journey through the campaign will touch on various key topics, including the EURES services, the reasons behind recruiting through EURES, and a glimpse into EURES today and tomorrow. We will delve into the advantageous position EURES holds as both a digital and human service, exploring the innovative EURES matching engine, European (Online) Job Days (EOJD), and how you can benefit from the different EURES services.
Discover how EURES addresses fair labour mobility, return mobility, digitalisation, energy transition, and tackles challenges such as labour shortages and skill development. Gain insights into the advantages of working or recruiting abroad and receive practical advice on legal and social aspects when working abroad or hiring internationally. See how EURES seamlessly integrates into the European work journey.
