Publication of call for Proposals EaSI Programme has announced: Information, consultation and participation of representatives of undertakings VP/2020/008

The main purpose of this Call is to fund operations aimed at developing employee involvement in undertakings - meaning any mechanism, including information, consultation and participation, through which employees' representatives may exercise an influence on decisions to be taken within the company - in particular by raising awareness and contributing to the application of EU law and policies in this area and the take-up and development of European Works Councils.
