SOCIEUX+ is a technical cooperation facility set up and co-funded by the EU through the European Commission’s Directorate-General for International Partnerships (INTPA) and the governments of France, Spain, and Belgium, and implemented by a partnership composed of:

The SOCIEUX+ themes of Social Protection & Employment are key components of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Many of the 17 goals in this agenda, contain implicit or explicit references to social protection & employment. Social protection forms an integral part of: Goal 1 – No Poverty, and Goal 10 – Reduced Inequalities. Fair employment and labour are core components in the execution of Goal 8 – Decent Work and Economic Growth.

As part of its strategy to promote and foster peer-to-peer international cooperation among public institutions and social partners, SOCIEUX+ aims at setting up strategic partnerships with collaborative institutions. These are public or mandated institutions of excellence in the EU Member States with recognised expertise on social protection, labour or employment.
