The ‘RISC-RISE conference on Social Partnerships and Regional Integration’ will take place in Esch-sur-Alzette (Belval Campus), Luxembourg on 29-30 November 2021.
The central theme of the RISC-RISE conference in 2021 in Luxembourg will be devoted to cross-border social partnerships broadly defined. It will therefore highlight collaborations between various regions and countries. These collaborations are arranged between associations of citizens or social partners (trade unions and employers) or even by public authorities with the help of citizens.
The aim of the event is to see how cooperation amongst social groups are set up with the intention of working for specific purposes across national borders within a region or between different regions. For example, the area called the « Greater Region » in Europe brings together various associations and public institutions that deal with problems of mobility, cross-border labor markets in general, and administrative obstacles affecting workers from various regions and countries.

The event is organised by the University of Luxembourg, LISER and the University of Johannesburg’s Department of Politics and International Relations.
Conference Scientific Committee: Dr Franz Clement (LISER), Dr Harlan Koff (University of Luxembourg); Dr Suzanne Graham (University of Johannesburg), Dr Victoria Graham (University of Johannesburg).
