Conferences, seminars and workshops

The EWC Academy (and its forerunner organization) have been holding conferences and seminars for members of European works councils, SE works councils and special negotiating bodies since January 2009. So far, employee representatives from 326 companies have taken part including many of them for several times. This represents around 25% of all transnational works council bodies in Europe. In addition there are numerous in-house events and guest lectures given to other organizations.

Our highlight is always the annual symposium in the Harbour Hotel Hamburg (photo).
