Eurofound work programme 2025, programming document 2025-2028 : supporting better policies for a strong social Europe

The launch of this new multiannual programming document for 2025-2028, Supporting better policies for a strong social Europe, follows closely upon the 2024 election of a new European Parliament and the appointment of a new European Commission with a new set of strategic goals guided by three key priorities: a free and democratic Europe, a strong and secure Europe, and a prosperous and competitive Europe. The forthcoming four years covered by this programme will see Europe continue to undergo a deep economic transformation driven by a range of critical mega-drivers, not least climate action and digitalisation. The international context may prove disruptive, however; with a war on Europe's borders, a conflict in the Middle East and intensifying geopolitical tension alongside a reconfiguration of global trade, the risk of external shocks is ever present. Internally, changing demography has implications for Member States' ability to generate growth and sustain their public finances.
