Survey invitation: Help shape policies in (cross-)border regions!
VISIT THE SURVEY
As an organisation or business, do you have experience hiring professionals across borders or advising on the recognition of professional qualifications?
As a citizen, are you working or planning to work across borders? Have you faced challenges getting your professional qualifications recognized in another country or region?
ITEM is the Expertise Center at Maastricht University (UM) on cross-border mobility and cooperation. ITEM is actively collaborating with its stakeholders to improve policies affecting border regions, for instance via annual ‘ITEM Cross-Border Impact Assessments’ which evaluate the effects of new policies and legislation on cross-border regions, drafting advice for policymakers.
This survey focuses on the recognition of professional qualifications. Before starting work in another Member State, citizens may need to have their professional qualifications (education/training) officially recognized pursuant to Directive 2005/36. While some obstacles have been identified, more information is needed to understand where citizens encounter difficulties with cross-border mobility and recognition of their professional qualifications. The survey targets both citizens who have experience with the recognition of their qualifications and institutions, businesses and organizations that either deal with labour mobility/recognition questions from citizens or employers.
The results of this survey will be used to update the ITEM Cross-border Impact Assessment from 2016 that will focus on the recognition of professional qualifications from the perspective of citizens, businesses and institutions in border regions between Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany, and France.
