Commission publishes Europe 2020
Europe 2020, successor to the Lisbon Strategy, has now been published by the European Commission, as a blueprint for Europe's climb out of recession and back to global competitiveness and prosperity.
Intended for discussion and agreement by the European Council later this spring, Europe 2020 promotes a three-strand framework of:
- Smart growth - involving innovation, education and development of the digital society
- Sustainable growth -climate, energy and mobility, competitiveness
- Inclusive growth - employment and skills, fighting poverty
Making explicit reference to ESF's role in achieving balance in supply and demand in the labour market and reducing social exclusion, Europe 2020 is essential reading for everyone with a stake in Europe's future strategy, policy and action. Download a copy, and look out for our exclusive interview with DG Employment Director Peter Stub Jorgensen on Europe 2020 and how ESF fits in, coming very soon.
