He has been involved in the realisation of cross border information points and the establishment of Cross border employment-services at the German-Dutch and Dutch-Belgian border. In 2024, together with his ITEM colleague Pim Mertens he conducts comparative research on the situation of various cross-border labour markets in the EU.
