In January 2021, Professor Colin Williams won a new 4-year €5.6 million contract (annually renewable) as lead expert on undeclared work to the European Platform Tackling Undeclared Work, one of four pre-existing agencies incorporated into the new European Labour Authority (ELA) in 2021. This is a continuation of the four-year 2016-2020 service contract. The aim is to build the capacity of 29 countries (27 European Union countries plus Iceland Norway) to tackle the undeclared work economy by facilitating knowledge exchange and mutual learning.
