Webinar: The New World of Work and the EU Platform Work Directive

Limited availability

23. April 2026

FUTOURWORK, EGRUiEN and INTEGRATE-DIALOGUE invite policymakers, social partners and industry representatives to a webinar on the EU Platform Work Directive on Wednesday 6th May.

Do you work on labour policy, social dialogue, or worker representation? Are you responsible for the implementation of the new EU Platform Work Directive?

Join our webinar, co-hosted with fellow Horizon Europe projects EGRUiEN and INTEGRATE-DIALOGUE, where together we’ll explore how increasing platform work is transforming workers’ rights and social dialogue in different sectors across Europe.

This free event will deepen your understanding of what the Directive means for workers and social dialogue in practice, and inform your thinking as implementation gets underway.

It’s a chance to learn about the critical evidence and solutions all three research projects are working towards, designed to help social partners, policymakers and industry navigate the transition effectively. Presentations will also reflect on whether new legislation goes far enough and who still risks being left out.

The programme will include contributions from leading researchers and practitioners, including among others:

Silvia Rainone ETUI, on the importance of understanding the Directive
Michela Trentin (FUTOURWORK): Precarity, Social Dialogue and the Digital Promise in Tourism and Hospitality.
Elif Naz Kayran (EGRUiEN project): “Re-Embedding Platform Capitalism: Disruption, Bargaining, and Institutional Change in Vienna’s On-Demand Transport Sector”
Sissel C. Trygstad (Fafo) and Natalie Videbæk Munkholm (University of Southern Denmark) (INTEGRATE-DIALOGUE): “Needs and Legal Obstacles of Non-Standard Workers”
Philip Rein, Trade Union Representative (Foodora Norway): reflections on organising platform workers and collective bargaining in the platform economy
