Get a flavour of what the Foundation Forum is all about

Eurofound's fourth Foundation Forum will take place on 5-6 November 2009. With the support of the Irish Government, the event will be held in Dublin Castle and will draw together some 200 decision takers and policymakers from the European Union Member States, and the European Institutions, to debate the theme of Europe's response to the global recession.

The Foundation Forum is an arena for Europe’s political leaders, social partner representatives, business leaders and academics to engage in open debate. One of the Forum’s distinctive – and successful – features is the lack of any formal division between speakers and listeners: all participants are expected to engage in the debate.

The Foundation Forum 2009 promises to be even more lively and relevant than ever before, with a line-up including high-profile speakers, expert participants and a very hot topic for discussion.
