International Labour Standards Academy 2026

The International Labour Office presents its compliments to the Governments 
of States Members of the International Labour Organization (ILO) and has the 
honour to convey information to their representatives on this year’s edition 
of the International Labour Standards (ILS) Academy.

The Academy constitutes the flagship event on the ILO’s normative mandate. 
It is jointly organized by the International Labour Standards Department and 
the International Training Centre of the ILO (ITCILO) in Turin. As per 
established practice, the Academy will have a blended format and will 
precede the annual session of the International Labour Conference.

The Academy will consist of two complementary phases: an online phase from 
11 to 22 May, followed by an in-person phase in Turin, Italy, from 25 to 29 
May. It will offer a choice of two highly specialized tracks specifically 
designed to meet the needs of the tripartite constituents on the one hand, 
and judges, lawyers and legal educators on the other hand. Sessions will 
explore the relevance of the ILO’s normative contribution in the world of 
work and in the multilateral environment, in a context of profound and rapid 
changes, and will include discussions on common challenges and good 
practices.

Participation of tripartite constituents is encouraged, in particular of 
government, employers’ and workers’ representatives who are:

*         directly involved in the preparation of reports under articles 19 
and 22 of the ILO Constitution within Ministries, or observations under 
article 23 of the ILO Constitution by employers’ and workers’ organizations;

*         regularly participating in national tripartite bodies mandated to 
discuss standards-related matters;

*         taking part in the International Labour Conference as 
delegates/technical advisers and thus participating in the discussions on 
the adoption and application of ILS; or

*         taking part in meetings of ILO’s main bodies on standards-related 
issues.

The Academy will be conducted in English. Additional working languages may 
be added, if a minimum number of participants is reached.

More information about the Academy and the link to the registration form are 
available in the info note attached and in the 
<https://www.itcilo.org/courses/international-labour-standards-academy-1> 
ITCILO website.

Any questions on the Academy, including on the limited number of partial 
fellowships available and on tentative working languages, may be sent to 
[email-masked] <mailto:[email-masked]> .

The International Labour Office avails itself of this opportunity to renew 
to the Governments of States Members of the ILO the assurances of its 
highest consideration.
