Participants from all the EU member states will discuss Active labour market policies (ALMPs) and share their knowledge on this issue. Based on the results of recent evaluations from different European countries, delegates will explore new ways to advance with effective, evidence-based and future-oriented labour market policies.

The conference will focus on:

exploring ways of making current and future ALMPs in the EU more measurable and evidence-based, by stress the importance of evaluation methods and impact assessment in the field of ALMPs
identifying and understanding the most effective ALMP measures, based on recent evaluation and policy practices, and to draw lessons from these practices by elaborate on what works (and what doesn’t) in the broad field of ALMPs
discussing how to implement and design future ALMP measures within the framework of the Europe 2020 strategy. The aim is to contribute to the implementation of new employment guidelines, benchmarks and indicators for the Europe 2020 strategy.
