Workshop: The European Pillar of Social Rights. Developments and Perspectives
Faculty of Law of the University of Porto
November 12th 2021
The Law School of the University of Porto and the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research on Justice (CIJ) organise the workshop "The European Pillar of Social Rights: developments and perspectives", which will take place, in person, at the Faculty of Law of the University of Porto, on 12 November 2021.
In 2016, the initiative of the European Pillar of Social Rights ('ESDP') was launched by the President of the European Commission, which culminated with its proclamation on 17 November 2017, at the Gothenburg Summit. This Pillar is intended to be a 'compass' and set up a 'benchmarking' framework for the EU and Member States. Since then, several initiatives, strategies, plans and legislative harmonisation acts have followed, in order to develop and give density to the 20 proclaimed principles/rights. The Portuguese Presidency of the EU Council held a Social Summit on 7 and 8 May 2021, in Porto, where, in addition to the meeting of Heads of State and Government, it also convened the social partners, Academia and specialists from the most diverse areas, for a broad debate on "Social Europe".
The objective of this workshop is, therefore, to disseminate the analysis already undertaken by the researchers involved and to carry out a practical work of critical reflection with the participants, on some of the developments that occurred, the analysis that is presented and the developments that lie ahead.
