The Baltic Sea Labor Network (abbreviation BSLN ) is a transnational cooperation project of 22 partners from 9 countries in the Baltic Sea region .

overview

The social partners , politicians, experts and non-governmental organizations (NGO) involved jointly pursue the goal of making the Baltic Sea region a model region for Europe with regard to the development of the labor markets . The project is financed by the Baltic Sea Region Program 2007-2013 with a sum of 2.7 million euros and will run for a total of 3 years (until the end of 2011).

background

In the network, employers and business associations , trade unions , politicians, experts, non-governmental organizations and other interested parties are called upon to intensify the dialogue in the regions. BSLN acts as a forum for the exchange of knowledge between politicians and other decision-makers. At the same time, concepts are being developed that are tested in pilot projects. As a knowledge network, BSLN aims to provide experts and scientists with a comprehensive picture of the requirements for the labor markets in the Baltic Sea region.

The BSLN agenda includes the areas of strengthening social dialogue , mobility of work, active labor market policy as well as education and training . National and transnational conferences and workshops are organized on all subject areas.
