WUNDERWORK Virtual Launch - 2026
Join the Virtual Launch of WUNDERWORK, a new EU‑funded project on under-declared work.
About the event
Join the Virtual Launch of WUNDERWORK, a new EU‑funded HORIZON project on under-declared work, led by Utrecht University. WUNDERWORK aims to dive deeper into practices like envelope wages, dependent self-employment, digital labour platforms, wage underreporting and social security contribution avoidance across Europe (the Netherlands, Slovakia, Estonia, Finland, Portugal, Romania and Spain).
Our virtual launch will introduce the project, outline the collaborative approach, and open the floor for focused discussions within key stakeholder groups.
The Virtual Launch of WUNDERWORK is intended for workers, trade unionists and worker representatives, as well as employers, employer association representatives, labour inspectors, policymakers and researchers.
