  • Events/Conf/Fairs

The 2019 annual European Social Fund (ESF) Transnational Platform event (ESFTP19) will be the closing event as the ESF Transnational Platform has now entered its final stage of implementation.

This year the aim is to extend the appeal of the conference beyond the 9 ESF thematic networks to gather around 300 participants from ESF managing authorities, policymakers, stakeholders at EU and national levels, project promoters, and users.

The objective of the conference is twofold:

  • to disseminate to a wide audience the lessons learnt from ESF transnationality, in particular from the work of the thematic networks, as well as from transnational projects
  • to exchange on how the ESF and transnationality can concretely support the experimentation of approaches to tackle unmet social and labour market needs, as well as pressing societal challenges

Testimonials from selected ESF funded projects, including transnational ones, will illustrate how the ESF has improved people’s living and/or working conditions.

European Commission (EC)

The European Commission is the executive body of the EU and runs its day-to-day business. It is made up of the College of Commissioners, 27 European Commissioners, one for each member state, who are each responsible for one or several policy areas. In addition, the 'Commission' also refers to the entire administrative body that supports the Commissioners, consisting of the Directorates-General and the Services.

The European Commission is the sole EU body capable of proposing new legislation. The Commission also performs an oversight function, monitoring whether European legislation is properly implemented in the member states. In the event of non-compliance, the Commission can coerce a member state to comply by starting a legal procedure at the European Court of Justice.
