Cross-Border Work in Europe: Regional Practices and Realities

International conference, 5-6 May 2022

Two million cross-border commuters work in Europe, most of them in Switzerland and Luxembourg. Despite the growing importance of the phenomenon, no European research on cross-border workers has been established yet. LISER, the UniGR Center for Border Studies and other partners aim to fill this gap with the conference "Cross-Border Work in Europe" on May 5 and 6. Socio-economic, socio-cultural and methodological issues will be discussed in 20 international talks and a roundtable discussion. Working languages are French and English with translation.

With the Minister of Labour, Employment and the Social and Solidarity Economy and the Minister of Foreign and European Affairs of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
