The project "SMEs - Information and Consultation - Innovative Challenges" is a project with the support of the European Commission and it emerges following the previous ones (on the IC New Dimension's series).
This present action, having into consideration the conclusions and results from the previous actions, and also due to the role played by the SMEs, is focused on the information and consultation within the SMEs, at national level and also articulating it in order to overcome crisis situations and making the necessary linkage to the application and development of the Directive 2005/56/EC on the cross borders mergers.
Within our work other issues will also be covered not only to allow a better explanation and use of such tool as well of certain aspects that deserve to be focused such as the employees' participation right - on the perspective of the SMEs and articulating such with the development of information and consultation specially on the matters that this project intends to stress such as employees' financial participation, flexibility and innovation.
It also aims to gather concrete examples and how they are applied in practice having in consideration the different realities and the articulation developed between those matters.
