What we do

Eurofound’s research priorities for 2025–2028 are shaped by the opportunities and challenges arising from four mega-drivers: climate change, demographic change, technological change and re-globalisation. 

Eurofound research focuses on the four policy areas mandated in the Founding Regulation – working conditions, industrial relations, employment and living conditions. The Agency continues to collect high-quality survey data and aims to support its stakeholders by providing evidence that can support their policy actions. At the same time, Eurofound reserves some flexible capacity in order to respond to emerging issues and stakeholder ad hoc requests. Eurofound celebrates 50 years of research in 2025.

Financial information

Eurofound is funded from the Community budget. The latest budget for 2025 amounts to €25,200.000. Each year in January, the Management Board sends an estimate of revenue and expenditure to the European Commission. The Commission decides on the appropriate funding and inserts the amount in its Draft Budget. In July, the Council of the EU decides on a Draft Budget which is submitted to the European Parliament for approval. Following decisions of the European Parliament and the Council and a possible conciliation procedure, the budget should be approved in November or at the latest in December.
