On 10 October 2016 in Bruxelles (Rue van Maerlant, 2) the GD Research & Innovation is organizing a seminar to present research evidence in relation to the present and future of European welfare and work, reversing inequalities, social investment and poverty.
Findings will be discussed from a policy perspective and should contribute to the ongoing dialogue concerning the European Pillar of Social Rights.
