More needs to be done by the EU and national authorities to support the exchange of information between all stakeholders concerned. The Thematic Review Seminars have an agenda-setting role for the mutual learning process and aim to steer the policy debate under an overall thematic focus. As emphasised in the Joint Employment Report 2007/2008 the implementing priorities for action is:
- Attract and retain more people in employment, increase labour supply and modernise social protection systems.
- Improve the adaptability of workers and enterprises.
- Increase investment in human capital through better education and skills.
The seminars are organised twice a year and dedicated to one of these thematic priorities. Together with key experts on the chosen priority theme the seminar includes a large group of policy-makers and stakeholders from across Europe. Each Thematic Review seminar focuses on the main policy challenges and approaches, from national and EU-wide perspectives, within the selected priority area. Official delegates from different member states present national achievements in the field as a basis for the subsequent discussions involving other member state officials and representatives of the social partners and other stakeholders.
