Expected Outcome:
The main objective of this call is to develop employees’ involvement in undertakings by raising awareness and contributing to the application of European Union law and policies in this area. The call aims at supporting projects which seek to help accompany through social dialogue at company level the significant changes driven by industry transitions and, in particular, the take-up and effective functioning of European Works Councils. The call shall focus on one or a limited number of topical challenges with a view to maximise both the individual and aggregated impact of the selected projects.
Scope:
Actions to promote European level and strengthened transnational cooperation between social partners that address the following themes would be expected:
- to promote exchange and wider dissemination of knowledge and good practices and to launch actions aimed at supporting the setting up and good functioning of European Works Councils, including the promotion of gender balanced European Works Councils;
- to support workers’ involvement in the anticipation and management of change and the prevention and resolution of disputes in the event of various forms of restructuring in EU level undertakings and groups of undertakings, as required to achieve a just transition, i.e. address challenges brought by the pursuit of EU’s climate objectives (e.g. Council recommendation of 16 June 20225 on ensuring a fair transition towards climate neutrality), and by the digital transformation of economies (e.g. impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on work organisation or working conditions).
