c) To promote the evidence basis through the collection and evaluation of original data, and the analysis specific to the posting process and posted workers' working conditions, including through the collaboration between universities across various disciplines, research centres and institutes and stakeholders, in particular social partners.
Scope:
Expected results will include the development of new or the improvement of existing exchanges, peer reviews and/or training programmes between officials of competent public authorities and/or between relevant social partners and stakeholders in the contexts of monitoring the compliance with and enforcement of the applicable rules in relation to posted workers, and/or of administrative cooperation and mutual assistance. Furthermore, the results will include the development/improvement of online platforms for the collection and dissemination of quality, user-friendly, and specific information targeted at posted workers.
