Collecting and sharing good practices
The Authority launches an annual call, to collect good practice examples on various areas related to EU labour mobility. Through this call, ELA promotes the exchange, dissemination and use of good practices and knowledge collected from Member States to increase the effectiveness of the application and enforcement of labour mobility law within the EU.
The topics of the call for good practices may vary each year and reflect ELA’s sectoral or cross-sectoral priorities.
The call is open to Member State administrations, but also to other stakeholders operating at national, regional or local level, including civil society and social partner organisations.
All selected good practices are made available by ELA via good practice database.
Cross-sectoral training programmes in areas related to EU labour mobility
ELA organises various sessions and workshops to support Member States' capacity and to improve knowledge of the application of EU labour mobility legislation. These trainings bring together participants from all EU Member States to deepen their understanding of labour mobility rules, fair enforcement of the single market, and to network with their European peers.
Study visits
The study visits exchange programme enables the strengthening of cross-border cooperation and information exchange.
The aim of the programme is to facilitate cooperation mechanisms, mutual learning and information exchange about different national systems and legislation related to EU labour mobility. Another aim is to contribute to building up mutual trust and networking opportunities. This is crucial for successful bilateral and multilateral day-to-day cooperation.
Database of experts
ELA launched an open call for the expression of interest for experts, where academics and practicioners, who are experts in the EU labour mobility law, can apply to provide their support and expertise to ELA's capacity building activities.
ELA can choose experts from the database, who will contribute to the work of ELA, for instance as speakers, moderators, report writers, training providers or in other roles of ELA activities.
