The European Network of Excellence on Reconciling Work and Welfare (RECWOWE) and the OSE in collaboration with the Committee of the Regions (CoR) are organising a seminar on “Understanding the Europeanisation of Domestic Welfare States: How does the EU affect national and regional social policies?". The Pudiac meeting seminar will be an opportunity to present the empirical results of the ETOS.be research and discuss questions such as: Can small member states influence EU level decision making (and if so, how)? What is the role of the EU in social affairs? How do policy instruments differ (law, policy coordination, European Social Fund)?
