Strengthening Industrial Relations in the Construction Sector in Central and East European Countries
EU funds use at national level & best practices
25th May 2023 from 10:00 to 16:00 CET
On 25 May 2023, was held the webinar “Strengthening Industrial Relations in the Construction Sector in Central and East European Countries – EU funds use at national level & best practices”, co-organised by the European Association of Paritarian Funds – AEIP and the social partners in the construction sector, the European Construction Industry Federation – FIEC and the European Federation of Building and Woodworkers – EFBWW.
The event has been organised as part of the “Towards A New Start of Industrial Relations in Construction in Central and East European Countries (CEEC’s)” (TANSIRC 2) project funded by the European Commision (Grant Agreement no. 101051729). It gathered key stakeholders in the construction sector, EU representatives and EU funds experts, to promote EU funding opportunities as well as to share best practices on their use at national level for the development of social dialogue & industrial relations.
The webinar aimed to create a stronger added value for the social dialogue in the construction industry in the Central and Eastern European Countries (CEECs) and to build up the capacity of trade unions and employers federations to enter in negotiations within the national systems of industrial relations. To this end, during the event were presented relevant EU funds that can support the strengthening of industrial relations in the construction sector including the European Social Fund Plus (ESF+), the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), the Erasmus+ programme 2021-2027 and Horizon Europe.
During the event were also presented best practices of EU funded project which allowed the collaboration of social partners in the construction sector on topics such as skills, provision of social protection and health and safety at work. The event targeted national social partners as well as national paritarian institutions active in the construction sector.
