Objective

This training session is supported by the EuropeanUnion programme for Employment and Social Solidarity (2007-2013). This programme was
established in order to provide financial support for the implementation of the European Union’s objectives in the area of employment and social affairs, as set out in the Social Agenda, and thereby contribute to the achievement of the Lisbon Strategy goals in these fields.

This programme, which runs for seven years, involves all interested parties who can help with the development of effective policies and
legislation in support of employment and social affairs, in all of the Member States of the Union, candidate and pre-candidate countries, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein.

PROGRESS’ mission is to strengthen the EU contribution in support of Member States' commitments and efforts to create more and better jobs and to build a more cohesive society. To that effect, PROGRESS will be instrumental in:
 

• providing analysis and policy advice on PROGRESS policy areas;
• monitoring and reporting on the implementation of EU legislation and policies in PROGRESS policy areas;
• promoting policy transfer, learning and support among Member States on EU objectives and priorities; and
• relaying the views of the stakeholders and society at large

Who should attend?

Participation is only open to university professors and law lecturers from an EU Member State, EEA/EFTA country or EU candidate country.
