The current moment is characterised by the occurrence of several transformations, at a vertiginous speed, at countless levels – environmental, technological, political, and social – with an undeniable impact on work and employment. It is against this background that the IX Ibero-American and European Congress of Labour and Social Security Law will take place, on the 8th, 9th, and 10th, of May of 2025, at the Universidade Católica Portuguesa – Porto Law Faculty, Portugal.

The Congress aims to feed and enrich the debate on some of the most compelling issues brought by the torrent of transformations we are currently going through, while opening up space for reflections on other thematic fields.

Keeping up with its international scope and with the aim of promoting a rich and plural debate, as well as supporting scientific research and facilitating the creation of reciprocally fruitful networks, this edition of the Ibero-American and European Congress on Labour and Social Security Law features, once again, a moment dedicated to free-theme presentations in the area of Labour and Social Security Law. Lecturers and researchers are welcome to share the product of their studies. Publication opportunities will be provided.
