6-7 Feb 2014 | Brussels (Belgium)
László Andor, Commissioner for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion, and Giannis Vroutsis, Greek Minister of Labour, will open the conference which will take place on 6-7 February 2014 in Brussels.
The objective is to bring together policy makers and ESF stakeholders to exchange views on how the ESF could be more effective and efficient in the context of the 2014-2020 programming period. The conference will explore which policies the ESF could and should support under the new investment priorities and how this could be best achieved.
The event will focus on new ESF policy areas and tools. Mutual learning, sharing of expertise, and common understanding in these areas should help the participants to work towards the achievement of the priorities identified in the Country Specific Recommendations and Commission services’ Position Papers, thereby furthering the Europe 2020 targets.
As the number of participants is limited, the plenary sessions in the morning of 6 and 7 February will also be web streamed. Source and additional info: http://ec.europa.eu/esf/main.jsp?catId=68&langId;=en&eventId;=152
