On 16th March 2023, the University of Florence will host the launch event of the Horizon project ”CARE4CARE” at the Lecture Hall in Piazza San Marco 4, Florence (Italy).

Since 1^st January 2023, the Department of Legal Sciences of the University of Florence has coordinated a consortium consisting of 10 European partners, including TOUR4EU, organisation that represents the seven Tuscan universities in Brussels as well as the Universities of Lund, Girona, Seville, the Europa-Universität Viadrina, Rzeszów, Bordeaux, together with the European Federation for Family Employment (EFFE) and the European Federation for Services to Individuals (EFSI).

With a budget of more than EUR 2.7 million over a three-year period, the CARE4CARE project will study the risks and conditions that put so-called ‘care workers’ in vulnerable positions and their perception in the labour market within six EU member states: France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain and Sweden.

The project aims to create tools to improve job quality of care workers as well as combating discrimination in their sector. During the event there will be a presentation of the project to citizens as well as a partners’ meeting and a detailed description of the work packages, activities, and the members of the consortium.

The seminar is open to regional and national stakeholders.
