This conference will bring together national and European institutions, international organisations and other stakeholders to discuss how to promote the legal employment of foreign workers and strengthen their protection in the labour market. Against the background of growing labour shortages and an increasing reliance on foreign workers in Slovakia, the event will focus on preventing labour exploitation, improving access to protection and developing effective referral and complaint mechanisms. Discussions will also address victim-centred approaches, cooperation between relevant authorities and better access to information on workers' rights and available support.

On 2 October 2025, EMN France brought together numerous French and European stakeholders to take stock of efforts to combat human trafficking at both national and European levels. The event provided an opportunity to identify emerging forms of trafficking and to examine international cooperation tools such as Common Operational Partnerships and EMPACT-coordinated actions.
