Current Projects
eQualPRO –Towards More Gender Equality at Work
The eQualPRO project, led by CESI, aims to enhance gender equality at work by leveraging the EU’s legislative and policy contributions. Despite progress in areas like equal pay, work-life balance, and gender balance on corporate boards, gender-based discrimination remains prevalent in various forms across Europe.
The project has three main goals: to provide a comprehensive overview of the EU’s impact on gender equality, train trade unions and workers to address current inequalities, and prepare for future challenges posed by digital technologies and artificial intelligence.

SynCrisis – Management of change in multiple crises
The EU and the world seem to have entered a sustained period of instability and insecurity. A state of ‘permacrisis’ has become a new normal for European citizens, with one crisis seamlessly followed by the next or with crises even overlapping each other and accumulating.
As a European confederation of more than 40 national and European trade union organisations with a total of more than 5 million individual members (most of which are employed in the different fields and levels of local, regional, national and European public services and administrations), this project of CESI aims to sketch comparative solutions of how performing public services and their personnel can help the EU and its Member States to face the multiple and new emerging crises in the future.
ACTIVER – Effective labour market policies
In recent years, European labour markets have undergone unprecedented structural changes. The significant demographic transition and ageing of European societies, the liberalisation and globalization of markets and flexibilisation of employment, digitalisation and automation of work and the shift to a greener economy have reshaped the way work is performed and labour markets are organised.
This project aims to build capacity and raise awareness about the role of workers, unions and social partners in the design and delivery of effective active labour market policies.
WeEP24 – Workers’ engagement in the European elections 2024
The WeEP24 project wants to raise citizens’ awareness of the role and democratic values of the European Union. The project will maintain political pluralism and engage with citizens and workers for the upcoming European elections 2024 and develop capacity-building activities mobilising the national networks to vote. The topics discussed will be on the importance of voting during the European elections 2024, EP’s priorities on employment connected to digital and green transitions, trends emerging within the Eurobarometer and promotion of the together.eu platform.
WEP – Training and promoting young talents for future-proof trade unions and social dialogue
The WEP project aims to support investment in young trade union representatives by establishing an Exchange and development programme for future union leaders that will deliver training, shadowing and networking sessions in order to equip them to become well-connected and aware transnational and Europe-oriented union leaders of tomorrow.
