Conference on Disability

Date: Tuesday, 12 December, 2017 – 08:45 to 17:00

The PMO, in collaboration with DG HR, is delighted to announce the first Inter-Interinstitutional Conference on Disability

The main objective of this year’s conference is focused on recognition of disability in Belgium.

The event will be interactive, staff members of all the Institutions who are directly or indirectly concerned with the question of disability are invited to attend.

Speakers from the Belgian federal and regional authorities will give presentations on the support available to the parents of children with a disability (ASAH, SUSA, PREBS, INCLUSION ….)

Another session will be an exchange with the EC Disability Support Group, PMO, HR and colleagues from the social services of the EEAS, EP, Council, CES and CoR – in order to answer as many questions as possible.

The second important objective is to introduce colleagues to the services offered by our Institutions and for these services to listen to the comments and concerns of colleagues in order to ensure that administrative files are dealt with in the most efficient way possible in the future.
