- The TRACE Project – Trade Unions Anticipating Change in Europe
TRACE is a large-scale project, aiming to build improved capacity within European trade unions to respond to situations of economic and industrial change and to defend the interests of working men and women facing this challenge. Supported by the European Social Fund, it uses a variety of innovative approaches, ranging from formal training activities to networking activities between communities of practice, to develop the knowledge, skills and understandings of trade union officers and representatives to anticipate, prepare for and accompany large-scale restructuring. Led by the European Trade Union College, TRACE involves 19 partners from EU 10 member states, drawn principally from European Industry Federations and national trade union confederations. The TRACE Project began in November 2004 and will finish in November 2006.

Dialog-On had 2 main strands of activity - Building European Trade Union Online Networks and Using Information Society Tools for European Trade Union Training - with additional activities on Web Portals.
