SEEurope is a project conducted by an internationally composed network of researchers under the leadership of the European Trade Union Institute for Research, Education and Health and Safety(ETUI-REHS, Brussels).
SEEurope will produce an mix of country reports and articles on specific topics in this context. The information on the website will be regularly updated and expanded.
The research and monitoring is conducted with a view to meeting the needs of all practitioners in Europe involved in the founding of an SE and in the policy debate on participation issues in their countries.
Firstly, the project observes the transposition of the European legal obligations into national law which are required to be completed by end of October 2004.
Equal importance will be given to observing companies which are planning to establish an SE .
Moreover, SEEurope offers information on relevant recent debates and measures on the European and/or global level.

SEEurope pursues a twofold aim: |
- To monitor the implementation of coming European Companies (Societas Europea - SE). The relevant European legislation (SE statute together with the SE Directive on workers' participation) provides for compulsory workers' involvement. By offering the opportunity to influence management decisions, the establishment of an SE opens up a new form of cross-border responsibility for workers and their trade unions;
-
To develop the interface between worker involvement in company decision-making and shaping of the future European Social Model (e.g. in shaping of European labour market, European training and employment promotion practices, promotion of women and improvement of socially responsible management practice) for the purposes of future research. Further, SEEurope seeks to improve workers' negotiating position by offering information on existing systems of board-level representation in an effort to promote a better understanding among worker and trade union representatives. Accordingly, SEEurope sees its role as to take part in the process of ongoing political communication on these issues conducted within the ETUC sphere.
