ValueFacturing SMEs National Workshop Series – Hungarian National Workshop
This workshop is the third in the series of events planned in the framework of the project and will be held in Budapest (Hungary).
Following the activities carried out so far by the Consortium, the workshop promoted best practices in the context of social dialogue and further the expertise and knowledge of project partners and national and international stakeholders, while outlining the progress in the research developed during the preliminary phases of the project.
During the morning session, two round-table discussions took place with the object of collecting inputs on project topics to integrate the ValueFacturingSMEs’ main report.
In the afternoon session, a training session was delivered on project-related topics targeting participants in local companies such as the concept of global value chains (GVCs) in the manufacturing sector, factors that can foster/hinder Hungarian SMEs’ participation in GVCs, the role of social dialogue and collective bargaining in the governance of GVCs.
Project Background
The Project aims to increase the competitiveness of SMEs in the manufacturing sector in global value chains through social dialogue. This will be done by investigating and fostering sectoral social dialogue practices (at both national and European levels) that can contribute to improving the quality of the European labour market to boost its attractiveness for starting and developing small and medium-sized enterprises.
