From crisis to recovery: Annual work programme 2013

Implementation of Eurofound’s four-year work programme 2013–2016 From crisis to recovery: Better informed policies for a competitive and fair Europe begins in 2013. The multiannual strategy laid down in the four-year programme provides Eurofound with a clear framework for the development of its annual programmes. It identifies four policy priority areas where Eurofound will provide high quality, timely and policy-relevant knowledge as input to better informed policies. This is the Agency’s strategic objective for the 2013–2016 period.The activities proposed in the annual programme for 2013 are designed to contribute to achieving this while also taking into account the organisational and policy context specific to the year 2013. As is appropriate for the first year of a four-year programme cycle, a number of activities will be launched in 2013 and will be continued or complemented by follow-up projects and further strands in coming years. The 2013 work programme also takes into account the sequence and work processes of Eurofound’s flagship activities, the European surveys and the observatories.

From crisis to recovery: Better informed policies for a competitive and fair Europe - Four-year work programme 2013-2016
As Eurofound embarks on a new four-year work programme, Europe faces some of its greatest challenges yet. Prospects for economic and social development in Europe and in other parts of the world are increasingly unclear. Drafted against this social and economic background and with these key imperatives to the fore, the priorities of this programme reflect clearly both the immediate challenge of coping with the crisis and the mid-term ambition to achieve progress towards a competitive and fair Europe – and this, of course, with the overall ambition of seeing Europe get ‘back on track’. Building on over 30 years of research and expertise serving Europe’s decision-makers – EU institutions, national governments and social partners – this programme presents the strategic framework for the work of the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions for the period 2013 to 2016.
