EU-Japan Symposiums are held regularly since 1991 with the objective of promoting policy dialogue between the EU and Japan on employment and labor issues and common challenges that EU countries and Japan face. With the participation of governments, labour unions and employers' associations, and academics, past symposiums discussed a wide range of issues, including industrial relations, employability and adaptability, employment of older people, and equal employment opportunity for men and women. The 12th EU-Japan Symposium will focus on "The diversification of forms of work and employment", which is widening in the context of globalisation. The symposium will provide an analysis on the situation both in Japan and the EU, and discussions will be held on work-life balance and employment security. The symposium will inter alia examine policy responses with a view to exchange on how to harmoniously balance workers' and employers' needs of flexibility.

We sincerely hope that you will take this opportunity to attend the symposium.
