We are pleased to invite you to the online webinar “Policy Challenges in Immigration, Non‑Standard Employment and Remote Work,” organised under the framework of the Horizon Europe project TransEuroWorks.
The webinar will present recent research findings from the TransEuroWorkS project and explore their implications for the future of social protection and labour‑market regulation across the European Union.
Discussions will address the fiscal impact of immigration, social‑protection gaps between standard and non‑standard workers, and public perceptions surrounding remote and flexible work.
We would be delighted to have you join us for this timely exchange among researchers, policymakers, social partners, and other stakeholders.
