ECAS AWARDS FOR INNOVATIVE CITIZENSHIP

Since the Covid pandemic, telework has surged across Europe, becoming a new norm for many professionals whose jobs do not require a constant on-site presence. Among these remote workers are the so-called 'digital nomads,' who move between locations, and others who occasionally work from a different EU Member State than where they usually reside—often for personal reasons.

Described by the European Labour Authority as an “increasingly rising phenomenon”, cross-border telework raises several questions in terms of Labour law, social security, taxes or immigration.

This year, the ECAS Awards 2025 will focus on cross-border telework, questioning whether EU citizens benefits from work environments which are sufficiently adapted to their new life styles, and how EU legislation should be created or adapted to ensure that the rights of cross-border teleworkers are fully protected.

We need your opinion!

To understand how important being able to work across borders is for working EU citizens, the first phase of our ECAS Awards will open on July 16th with the following question: “Do you think teleworking from other places in the EU is crucial for your professional productivity and personal well-being?”
