On the sidelines of the 60th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome, the European Federation for Family Employment and Home Care (EFFE) presented its orientations for the domestic work sector.
Situated at the crossroads of European economic and social issues, domestic work services have a robust growth capacity and constitute an unprecedented development reservoir for European society.
This event recalled IPERIA l'Institut's active commitment to recognizing this sector at the European level by contributing its expertise. The institute presented past and ongoing European projects, such as TRACK and PRODOME, by Gloria Ortiz (Head of European Projects and Partnerships Service) and Mélanie Tocqueville (Head of Scientific Direction).
