Socio-economic governance

In view of the formidable challenges ahead related to recovery from the Covid-19 crisis and to the green and digital transitions, the ETUI asked the OSE, following a competitive tender, to reflect on how the EU social governance toolbox could be further strengthened.

The OSE was contracted by the European Trade Union Institute (ETUI) to conduct research which will result in the 23rd edition of the ‘Bilan social’ (the short name of the book in French), which will be edited this year by Bart Vanhercke, Sebastiano Sabato and Slavina Spasova. Other contributors to the book include Angelina Atanasova, David Bokhorst, Petra Debusscher, Federico Fabbrini, Matteo Marenco, Zane Rasnača and Sotiria Theodoropoulou.

The European Commission-funded programme for cooperation between the EU and Latin America on social and employment policies ‘EUROsociAL+’ asked the OSE to conduct a study on the socio-ecological dimension of the EU recovery from the Covid-19 crisis. The objective of this research is twofold. First, to identify and discuss relevant initiatives taken at the EU level aimed at linking and making environmental and social objectives compatible in the recovery from the Covid-19 crisis.
