2024 EISS Conference in Maastricht (NL): “Contemporary Challenges
for the Fundamental Right to Social
Security”
The European Institute of Social Security hosted its annual conference in collaboration with Maastricht University in Maastricht, the Netherlands. The conference took place from 26-27 September on the topic of contemporary challenges for the fundamental right to social security.
