EURES: the EURopean Employment Services network
EURES is a cooperation network established and coordinated by the European Commission to facilitate the free movement of workers within the European Union, as well as in Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein (EEA countries) and Switzerland. The network includes public employment services, trade unions, employers’ organizations.
The network is made up of the European Coordination Office (ECO), the National Coordination Offices (NCO), the EURES partners and the associated partners.
In practice, EURES provides its services through the portal and a network of around one thousand consultants, in daily contact with job seekers and employers from all over Europe. EURES is divided into numerous projects and events that aim to encourage mobility in Europe.
