This webinar is part of the EUWIN and Bridges 5.0 programme of events. \n\n\n\n\nIt is a well-known fact that many businesses struggle to get the solutions developed in various projects into use and implemented. Action research meets this challenge in that development\, testing and implementation go hand in hand in a co-created learning process. \n\n\n\nIn Norway\, action research as a research strategy was introduced and adopted early on through the Industrial Democracy project in the 60s\, where companies and trade unions tested new work forms with the aim of increasing efficiency in parallel with improving working conditions. The organizational psychologist Kurt Lewin has been given the honour of coining action research as a research tradition. Subsequently\, action research as a philosophy and through methodological choices has developed in different directions\, where various choices have been emphasized differently. \n\n\n\n\nIn this presentation\, we will rely on a pragmatic approach to action research as described and developed by\, among others\, Davydd Greenwood and Morten Levin. Through dialogue and reflection\, presentation of new research and theoretical perspectives and testing in the various organisations\, the researchers and the participants (problem owners) develop a common learning community with the aim of developing knew practice as well as new theory. \n\n\n\n\nHanne Finnestrand is an Associate Professor in Organizational Theory at the Department of Industrial Economics and Technology Management. She has a major in Organizational Sociology from 2003 and a PhD in Organizational Development and Action Research from 2011. \n\n\n\nFrom 2003-2016 she worked as a Research Scientist\, and later Senior Research Scientist\, at SINTEF Technology and Society\, Technology Management. As a commissioned researcher\, she has collaborated closely with company managers\, shop stewards and employees in several (primarily manufacturing) companies over several years. \n\n\n\nTheoretically\, she positions herself within Socio-Technical Systems Theory (STS) and Action Research. She is the co-founder of STS Kompetansenettverk and cooperate with the international STS network\, Global Network for SMARt organization design. \n\n\n\nShe is also Editor-in-Chief of the journal\, Systemic Practice and Action Research (Springer). \n\n\n\n\n\nDiscover the full programme and book your place. \n\n\n\n\nView the programme\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHanne Finnestrand\, PhD \n\n\n\nNorwegian University of Science and Technology – NTNU \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEUWIN (the European Workplace Innovation Network) is a community of researchers and practitioners from business\, public policy\, research and social partner organisations.

This webinar is part of the EUWIN and Bridges 5.0 programme of events. \n\n\n\n\nFirms in the Basque Autonomous Community is Spain are facing global challenges like the need to evolve into more sustainable modes of production\, the effect of demographic change and technological transformations that affect their present activities as well as their expectations about the future. \n\n\n\nOne of the features of the Basque Autonomous Community\, and specifically Gipuzkoa\, where the case presented has developed\, is the relevant weight of SMEs\, as 20% of the industrial employment is in firms with less than 20 employees\, and 53% in firms with between 20 and 249. Regional governments have assumed that their policies must generate conditions for SMEs to be able to transform to adapt to these challenges\, as they might not have\, on their own\, resources that bigger firms might. \n\n\n\nIn this context\, the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa\, the government of one of the three provinces of the Basque Autonomous community\, initiated in 2020 a deliberative process using action research to determine\, through the discussion with representatives of firms\, firm associations and universities what the core challenges of work would be in the future. The main conclusion was that the government should initiate innovative policies to help firms make work meaningful\, as this would be a key dimension of the wellbeing of individuals and the competitiveness of firms. \n\n\n\nFrom that moment on action research has been used to co-generate with firms and intermediate agents that work with them a methodology and method to develop the meaning of work. Intermediate agents in this case are county development agencies (there are eleven in the province)\, the chamber of commerce\, an association of vocational training centres and the association of work societies. They are named as intermediate because they have direct connections with firms and also with the provincial government and play a bridging role between them. As a result of this process 39 firms have been working on processes to improve the meaning of work in 2023\, and there are around 40 working on it in 2024. The government has institutionalised programs for intermediate agents and firms to continue getting support for these processes in the future. \n\n\n\n\nIn the presentation we will elaborate on action research as a methodology for this process\, the collaborative governance arrangement to facilitate the collaborative work of government with firms and one specific case of a firm that has worked with this methodology. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDiscover the full programme and book your place. \n\n\n\n\nView the programme\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUnai Elorza Mondragon University \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMiren Larrea Orkestra-Basque Institute of Competitiveness\, University of Deusto \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEUWIN (the European Workplace Innovation Network) is a community of researchers and practitioners from business\, public policy\, research and social partner organisations.

This webinar is part of the EUWIN and Bridges 5.0 programme of events. \n\n\n\n\nThis paper examines how the digital transition and the green transition togetherconstitute a twin transition\, and looks at the potential effects of this twin transition onworking life. The twin transition is considered a comprehensive socio-technical change\,which brings opportunities to develop the quality of work and working life. The paperalso presents various ways in which working life research can increase ourunderstanding of the transition and contribute to it. \n\n\n\nBesides opportunities\, the paper also highlights tensions and contradictions regardingthe twin transition. These arise\, on the one hand\, from the fact that the transitionconcerns a large group of actors who may have intersecting\, different and divergentgoals and interests. On the other hand\, the relationship between the development ofdigital information technology and the green transition is also tense and contradictory.While it is possible to promote the green transition with the help of artificialintelligence and other technologies\, technological development can have significantside effects that increase the consumption of energy and natural resources. \n\n\n\nAccording to forecasts\, the overall effects of the twin transition on employment at thelevel of the national economy are expected to be moderate\, and rather more positivethan negative. However\, the positive and negative effects on employment can impactdifferent industries\, different regions\, different occupations and different organizationsin very different ways. The twin transition will probably further accelerate the ever-increasing growth in demand for professionals. The infrastructure investments requiredby the transition will likely also increase the demand for labour especially inmanufacturing\, construction and various maintenance activities. \n\n\n\n\nThe twin transition is not only about strengthening ecological sustainability by utilizing new technological possibilities\, but also involves an important social dimension. The social dimension particularly concerns different stakeholder groups’ opportunities to participate in the transition and how just the effects of the transition are perceived to be in working life and in society at large. The paper highlights the themes of working life research\, with an additional focus on how research can contribute to the implementation of the twin transition in a socially sustainable way. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTwin Transition as a Transformer of Work and an Opportunity for Development: This publication is a study commissioned through the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health’s research project “Understanding and supporting the twin transition as part of well-being at work”. \n\n\n\n\nDownload the Full Paper\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDiscover the full programme and book your place. \n\n\n\n\nView the programme\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTuomo Alasoini (Research Professor) Finnish Institute of Occupational HealthTuomo Alasoini is a Research Professor at the Digitalisation of Work Unit at the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health (FIOH) and an Adjunct Professor of Sociology at the University of Helsinki.

What does good look like? And how can we make a difference?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore than 70 years’ worth of evidence shows that workers with greater control over their own jobs are more productive and less likely to be sick than those in traditional hierarchical organisations. \n\n\n\nThey bring ideas to work\, contribute to improving the business\, and help to build agile and resilient organisations. They also learn and develop on the job\, and experience significantly greater wellbeing and satisfaction. \n\n\n\nYet too many Irish companies have yet to realise the full potential of employee participation. Drawing evidence from Ireland and elsewhere in Europe\, this interactive workshop is your opportunity to learn from leading practice and identify practical steps to achieving win-win outcomes for organisations and their employees alike. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInvited Speakers include: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Workshop is a joint initiative by SIPTU’s Ideas Institute and Workplace Innovation Europe as part of the BroadVoice project\, funded by the European Commission to explore the role of trade unions and worker representatives in supporting more productive\, healthier ways of working in European enterprises. \n\n\n\nThe Institute for the Development of Employees Advancement Services (IDEAS) promotes the introduction of new thinking and new services into the workplace for the benefit of employees and the enterprise through workplace innovation\, education and research. \n\n\n\nWorkplace Innovation Europe CLG is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to stimulating and resourcing workplace innovation through research\, professional development and consultancy. \n\n\n\n\nProgramme \n\n\n\n\n\n10.00 \n\n\n\n\n\nArrival\, registration and refreshments \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10.30 \n\n\n\n\n\nWelcome\, Aims of the workshop and IntroductionsBrian McGann (IDEAS)Peter Totterdill & Rosemary Exton (Workplace Innovation Europe) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11.00 \n\n\n\n\n\nKeynote speech – Gerry McCormack (European Officer\, ICTU) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11.20 \n\n\n\n\n\nDirect participation and why it is importantStavroula Demetriades (Eurofound) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11.40 \n\n\n\n\n\nBroadVoice: a call to actionPeter Totterdill (Workplace Innovation Europe) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11.55 \n\n\n\n\n\nGroup discussion and feedback \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n12.30 \n\n\n\n\n\nLunch \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n13.15 \n\n\n\n\n\nHow IDEAS unleashes direct participation in the workplace – Tony Murphy \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n13.30 \n\n\n\n\n\nShort films: FSW Coatings and Kirchhoff Automotive \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n13.45 \n\n\n\n\n\nPanel discussion with a manager and employee representative from FSW Coatings and Kirchhoff Automotive. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n14.30 \n\n\n\n\n\nGroup discussion and feedback:What are the obstacles to direct participation?

This webinar is part of the EUWIN and Bridges 5.0 programme of events. \n\n\n\n\nAfter introducing the meaning and key dimensions to classify worker participation\, the webinar will focus on the direct and representative channels for worker voice\, their history\, traditional objectives and boundaries. Despite the widespread perception of an incompatibility between these two forms of worker voice (on the one hand\, due to fears of marginalisation of worker representatives following the introduction of direct participation practices\, and on the other hand due to the alleged irrelevance of direct participation in unionised contexts)\, they have proved to coexist in many workplaces. \n\n\n\nThe webinar will therefore show the dynamics of coexistence and relations of direct and representative participation\, primarily in Italian workplaces albeit with insights into other European countries\, by also considering the different institutional frameworks. It will also consent to explore the distribution of competences between these two forms of voice as well as the areas where they prove to fruitfully interact\, and the challenges and opportunities associated with their functional combination. \n\n\n\n\n\nDiscover the full programme and book your place. \n\n\n\n\nView the programme\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIlaria Armaroli (Senior Research Fellow) ADAPT – Association for International and Comparative Studies in the Field of Labour Law and Industrial RelationsIlaria Armaroli is Senior Research Fellow at ADAPT – Association for International and Comparative Studies in the Field of Labor Law and Industrial Relations. She received a Ph.D. in Human Capital Formation and Labour Relations at the University of Bergamo (Italy). Within the framework of her Ph.D. experience\, she worked as action researcher at a local branch of an Italian metalworkers’ federation (FIM-CISL)\, in a view of developing her research project in English language\, focused on the role of trade unions as promoters of direct employee voice within traditional businesses. Her research focus is specifically related to industrial relations\, trade union representation and employee voice. Thanks to her propensity to field research\, she has developed experience in getting along with workers’ representatives and cooperating with them. She has an international profile\, since she has been working in 12 research projects co-funded by the European Commission (DG Employment\, Social Affairs and Inclusion)\, by producing articles and reports in fields of industrial relations and social dialogue\, organising and delivering training activities for trade unions and coordinating and relating with international consortia of partners.

This webinar is part of the EUWIN and Bridges 5.0 programme of events. \n\n\n\n\nSteven will discuss the European Union’s evolving transition from a regulatory to a more interventionist approach to governance\, characterised by the European Green Deal and Industry 5.0. This new industrial vision promotes human-centricity\, resilience\, and sustainability\, moving away from the mass production mindset of Industry 4.0. \n\n\n\nAlthough there is mounting political resistance to green and social regulation\, notably in the US\, evidence shows that ESG performance positively influences corporate financial performance. The skilled labour and tacit knowledge embedded within the European workplace are recognised as unique resources that can drive competitive advantage. Worker empowerment and autonomy are key to unlocking productivity\, especially from digital technologies\, whilst green investments often yield high returns through learning effects and service innovation. Steven will explore the importance of integrating human-centric principles into industrial policy and the potential of workplace-oriented policies to enhance international competitiveness\, necessitating the design of tools that deliver these outcomes more widely. \n\n\n\n\n\nFive years after its introduction\, Industry 5.0 stands as a call to reimagine both industrial policy and the nature of work in Europe. It is up to us to ensure that the human factor becomes central—not only in theory\, but in practice. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nIndustry 5.0 promotes human-centricity\, resilience\, and sustainability\, moving away from the mass production mindset of Industry 4.0. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDownload the Full Paper\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSteven Dhondt TNO \n\n\n\n\n\nSteven Dhondt is a research scientist at TNO and a part-time professor of organisational change at KU Leuven.

This webinar is part of the EUWIN and Bridges 5.0 programme of events. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe way we work is changing due to developments associated with the digital and green transition as well as demographic change\, as a driver of current and future labour shortages. As these transitions impact job content\, tasks and processes\, they will change how people work\, the skills needed to carry out jobs\, employment conditions\, and\, ultimately\, dimensions of their job quality. This paper aims to shed light on job holder profiles\, their employment conditions\, and some aspects of job quality experienced by workers in occupations of relevance for these transitions. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt looks both at job groups relevant for one single transition\, which are termed ‘occupations of interest’\, and relevant for two or more of the three transformations\, which are defined as ‘future-oriented’ occupations. Furthermore\, as part of the digital transition\, we also specifically consider occupations more likely to be exposed to the impacts of AI. \n\n\n\nThereby the analysis aims to provide an early indication of the types and characteristics of jobs and subgroups of workers that may be affected by these technological advances. \n\n\n\nUsing the 2021 European Working Conditions Telephone Survey (EWCTS) and 2021 EU Labour Force Survey (EU-LFS) data\, we analyse the job quality\, employment conditions\, and demographic characteristics of workers in occupational groups of interest and those identified as ‘future-oriented occupations’. This report analyse data collected by the EWCTS\, which covers six dimensions stemming from Eurofound’s job quality index based on the OECD Job Quality Framework\, \n\n\n\nBased on the paper’s data analysis\, the following findings emerge. In terms of workforce characteristics\, gender segregation is identified in most future-oriented occupations and (residual) occupations of interest. Most future-oriented occupational groups and residual occupations with higher digital skills intensity and certain green jobs are largely male-dominated. On the other hand\, occupations of interest relevant for critical labour shortage occupations\, as well as to a lesser extent jobs with medium to low digital skills intensity\, have a higher proportion of women. \n\n\n\nRegarding employment conditions\, future-oriented occupations generally are found to have stable employment conditions.A high proportion of workers in future-oriented occupations are employed on permanent contracts. On the other hand\, only 50% of workers in (residual) occupations experiencing labour shortages and in green in-demand jobs\, reported being in a position to predict accurately their earnings in the next three months. \n\n\n\nFocusing on job quality\, job strain in future-oriented occupations is found to be heterogenous. Job strain is above average in green and digital occupations experiencing labour shortages and less digital skills intensive green in-demand jobs. Job strain is also above the EU average for critical labour shortage occupations. Improving job quality for residual labour shortage occupations\, including those relevant for care work\, could increase their labour supply\, including by encouraging workers to be employed full-time rather than part-time.  \n\n\n\nOn the other hand\, occupations with higher digital skills intensity also have much lower job strain\, including as compared to the EU average. Predictability of earnings is also highest in occupations with higher digital skills intensity and AI-exposed occupations. Given that these occupations are currently (and likely in future) in high demand\, increased access and availability of relevant education and training would equip more workers with the skills to participate effectively in the digital transition\, fill related shortages in the EU economy\, and potentially enable workers to move into these higher quality jobs. Similarly\, occupations with higher AI exposure have below-average levels of jobstrain. Given the exponential pace at which digitalisation is taking place\, uncertainty remains high on the type and level of impact that AI will have on the number of jobs\, the extent of task restructuring within jobs\, and the quality of jobs. This highlights the importance of monitoring the labour market effects of AI use. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmployment and Social Developments in Europe.

Focusing on human-centricity\, we explore how the process of change might be accelerated\, and what we might learn from both social theory and practical experience to support this transition. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Up-Skill project addresses the workforce implications of industry 5.0\, in particular\, the relationship between automation choices and maintenance of skilled work\, exploring the strategic space in production where automation adds value to skilled and artisanal work and where over-automation risks undermining the value of what is produced. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease share URL:https://bridges5-0.eu/event/up-skill-final-conference-industrial-policy-5-0/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://bridges5-0.eu/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/up-skill-conference.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Brussels:20260213T103000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Brussels:20260213T120000 DTSTAMP:20260406T163658 CREATED:20260118T221827Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260119T123742Z UID:4153-1770978600-1770984000@bridges5-0.eu SUMMARY:BRIDGES 5.0 MASTERCLASS: Working together on accelerating the Industry 5.0\, what is needed for workforce skills?

This webinar is part of the EUWIN and Bridges 5.0 programme of events. \n\n\n\n\nPeople\, Culture and Skills are the key enabling technology. Findings from the Industry 5.0 Lighthouse Network in Ireland on what makes digital and green transitions succeed\, and how an early warning system using AI-powered analysis will support Energy Intensive Industries meet their emerging skills needs. \n\n\n\nEurope’s energy-intensive industries face simultaneous pressure to decarbonise\, digitise\, and maintain competitiveness. This webinar presents evidence from two complementary initiatives showing that workforce development is the decisive factor in whether these transitions succeed and how agentic AI can provide intelligence infrastructure to act on that insight at scale. \n\n\n\nInnoGlobal led the Industry 5.0 Lighthouse Network’s Digital Maturity and Sustainability Assessment programme across nine pharmaceutical manufacturing sites over two years\, in conjunction with IDA Ireland. The network achieved a 14% collective improvement in digital maturity\, with three consistent success factors across all sites: dedicated digital teams\, data integration as a prerequisite for advanced capability\, and cross-functional collaboration. The message is unambiguous: technology adoption succeeds or stalls based on how organisations invest in their people. \n\n\n\nThis raises a strategic question for industry and policymakers: which skills\, for which roles\, and how soon? Skills4sight\, developed by InnoGlobal under the EU Skills4EII project\, Skills Alliance for the Green\, Digital and Social Transformation of the Energy Intensive Industries\, was launched in 2025 to answer that question. Its AI-powered skills intelligence platform continuously monitors industry data sources across 10 energy-intensive industries\, detecting emerging skill demands. Its outputs – a directory of over 2\,200 future-oriented skills\, mapping of 176 legacy roles to 351 transformed profiles\, and 22 cross-sectoral “Game Changer” role specifications – feed directly into the design of training programmes and national rollout strategies under the Skills4EII alliance and the EU Pact for Skills Large-Scale Partnership for Energy-Intensive Industries. \n\n\n\nTogether\, these results offer industry leaders an evidence base for prioritising workforce investment and connect them with skills training providers\, give policymakers actionable intelligence for skills funding allocation\, and demonstrate a replicable model for connecting digital maturity and sustainability benchmarking with forward-looking skills intelligence across Europe’s industrial base. \n\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGareth Clarke PhD InnoGlobal \n\n\n\n\n\nGareth Clarke PhD is Head of Data Science and Analytics at InnoGlobal and responsible for the design and development of our AI-powered skills analysis tool\, Skills4Sight\, and our experiential learning platform\, SmartLabs.

This webinar is part of the EUWIN and Bridges 5.0 programme of events. \n\n\n\n\nSocial scientists now find that the quality of our jobs is one of the most important factors contributing to our wellbeing and health. But how has job quality been faring in recent years across the developed world? Is it fair to assume that\, as economies grow\, so the quality of our jobs will improve? Or are working conditions largely independent of how rich we are? \n\n\n\nIn his presentation Francis will introduce a wide-ranging review of the latest social science of job quality\, as revealed in his latest book: Hard At Work. He will show what we know about how job quality affects our wellbeing\, and then discuss the general changes that have occurred over the 21st century. He will organise this discussion around a framework of the seven dimensions of job quality: earnings\, prospects\, working time quality\, autonomy and skill\, work intensity\, the social environment and the physical environment. \n\n\n\nHe will conclude with a brief discussion of what’s meant by a ‘bad job’\, and then review some principles behind policy-making for better jobs. \n\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrancis Green UCL Institute of Education \n\n\n\n\n\nFrancis Green is Emeritus Professor of Work and Education Economics at UCL Institute of Education. After graduating in Physics at Oxford University\, he studied Economics at the London School of Economics\, before writing his PhD thesis at Birkbeck College. The author of ten earlier books\, and more than 200 papers\, he has also worked as an expert advisor for the European Union\, the OECD\, the UK government and the Singapore government. His recent research has focused on private schools\, and on job quality. His book\, “Hard At Work.
