How can the EU work to ensure lasting equality, inclusion and social cohesion against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic? How can the EU and its Member States best address the challenge of persistent and ever-widening inequalities? How is the pandemic shaping the future of work? Can Member States future-proof social protection systems? And is it possible to achieve all of this, while ensuring a sustainable transition to a just and greener Europe?

Eurofound’s Foundation Forum 2022 will bring together over 500 experts, policymakers, employer and worker representatives, national governments, thinkers and practitioners, online and in Dublin Castle, to hammer out the issues around the impact of the pandemic, the future of work, the reality of the green transition and the future of social protection for Europe.
