Hi All,
I am currently in the UK on a work permit VISA. We undertake IT projects across various countries in the EU. What type of VISA can i apply to work in the EU considering i am working in the UK on a work Visa?
Thanks.

You can't work elsewhere without a visa. If your company transfers you, they have to get you a visa to work in the EU country.
If you go to a one day (week) meeting, you don't need a visa but need the appropriate travel visa to enter that country

Also depends where in the EU. Not all EU member states are part of the schengen agreement.

If the requirement is for occational business related travel to Schengen states, then you can apply for a multi-entry business schengen visa (with sponsorship provided by your employer). Countries outside of the Schengen area will need seperate visas. E.g. Ireland
If travelling to work for a longer period of time in specific EU countries then you would need to get a suitable work visa for the country(s) you intend to travel to. This post may be better placed under the Europe Immigration forum so that others knowledgeable on the subject can comment.
