SUMMARY:WEBINAR: The European workplace\, the basis for competitive advantage?

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.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Future-oriented occupations in the EU: main features\, employment conditions\, and job strain
DESCRIPTION:Please note: webinar starting time is 11:00 am CET and 10:00 am GMT. \n\n\n\n\nPlease share \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\nWebinar \nThis is a webinar and it will be delivered via Microsoft Teams. 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.

SUMMARY:Up-Skill Final Conference: Industrial Policy 5.0
DESCRIPTION:Please share \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\nConference\nUp-Skill project final conference. Hybrid – in‑person and online. \n\n\n\nProgramme and registration: https://www.upskill-horizon.eu/final-conference \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe conference explores the mechanisms by which Industry 5.0 might move more rapidly from a policy brief to everyday practice in European manufacturing firms. \n\n\n\n\nWe draw on experiences from our own technology interventions and detailed ethnographic work conducted within the Horizon-funded Up-Skill project\, and we also draw directly on insights from firms themselves\, related projects\, policymakers\, academic experts\, and union representatives in order to identify the drivers of\, and barriers to\, positive change. \n\n\n\nWhile uptake of Industry 5.0 principles is slowly beginning to occur\, it is still far from constituting a transformation or paradigm shift. 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

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Methodology and Results from the Digital Maturity and Sustainability Assessment and Skills4sight in Ireland
DESCRIPTION:Please note: webinar starting time is 11:00 am CET and 10:00 am GMT. \n\n\n\n\nPlease share \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\nWebinar \nThis is a webinar and it will be delivered via Microsoft Teams. 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. Previously\, as Principal Data Scientist\, he developed our Digital Maturity and Sustainability Assessment\, informed by his work as Product Manager for the Multieye2\, one of our industrial sensors for smart manufacturing. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBook your place\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.

DESCRIPTION:Please note: webinar starting time is 10:30 am CET and 09:30 am GMT. \n\n\n\n\nPlease share \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\nBackground \n\n\n\nThe accelerating green and digital transitions are reshaping Europe’s labour markets\, production systems\, and skill needs. Within this transformation\, Industry 5.0 introduces a new paradigm that emphasises human‑centricity\, sustainability\, and resilience. Vocational Education and Training (VET) systems play a critical role in preparing learners and institutions to respond to these shifts while ensuring that technological advancements benefit people\, industry\, and society. \n\n\n\n\n\nPurpose of the Session \n\n\n\nThis webinar aims to explore how VET systems across Europe are engaging with Industry 5.0 concepts and what practical pathways exist to integrate them into policy\, curriculum\, and practice. Through expert insights and concrete use cases\, the session will highlight how VET can contribute to a more human‑centred\, technologically advanced\, and sustainable industrial landscape. \n\n\n\n\n\nSession Highlights \n\n\n\nEuropean perspective on AI and skills: CEDEFOP will present its ongoing analysis of how artificial intelligence is transforming VET systems\, shaping skill demands\, and influencing teaching and learning practices. \n\n\n\nPublic–private partnerships for upskilling: A Netherlands use case will showcase the “Metrolines for Industry 5.0” model as an example of successful collaboration to support workforce upskilling for emerging industrial needs. \n\n\n\nLearning Factories 5.0 in the Basque Country: Tknika will demonstrate how Basque VET is embedding Industry 5.0 principles into the system and how Learning Factories 5.0 are becoming catalysts for pedagogical\, technological\, and organisational transformation. \n\n\n\nExpected Outcomes \n\n\n\nParticipants will gain: \n\n\n\n\nA clearer understanding of what Industry 5.0 means for VET systems.\n\n\n\nInsights into current European research and policy developments.\n\n\n\nPractical examples of institutional and systemic innovation.\n\n\n\nInspiration to adapt these models within their own VET contexts.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgramme\n\n\n\n\n\n10:30 – 10:35  \n\n\n\n\n\nOpening \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIñigo AraizteguiDirector of the Internationalisation Department\, Tknika (Basque Country) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10:35 – 11:05 \n\n\n\n\n\nIndustry 5.0\, VET and AI.   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRalph HippeExpert in skills and workplaces\, CEDEFOP \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11:05 – 11:25 \n\n\n\n\n\nUse case from BRIDGES 5.0: Metrolines for Industry 5.0 for upskilling through public–private partnerships in the Netherlands \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnneloes van DelftProject leader\, Platform Talent voor Technologie (Netherlands) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11:25 – 11:45 \n\n\n\n\n\nUse case from BRIDGES 5.0: Transformation of VET programmes towards Industry 5.0 through Learning Factories 5.0 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUnai ZiarsoloResearcher at Tknika (Basque Country) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11:45 – 11:55 \n\n\n\n\n\nQ&A session. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11:55 – 12:00 \n\n\n\n\n\nClosing. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIñigo AraizteguiDirector of the Internationalisation Department\, Tknika (Basque Country) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBook your place\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis webinar is part of a series of Bridges 5.0 Masterclasses leading to the Final Bridges Conference which will take place in person on 2nd October 2026 in Brussels. \n\n\n\nUpcoming Bridges 5.0 Masterclasses: \n\n\n\n\nJune 12 2026: Masterclass for managers: Good Practices/Initiatives in Industry 5.0\n\n\n\nSeptember 11 2026: Session on Identifying the big questions/challenges for the Final Conference\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore about Bridges 5.0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBridging human & digital potential.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Hard At Work. Job Quality\, Wellbeing and the Global Economy
DESCRIPTION:Please note: webinar starting time is 11:00 am CET and 10:00 am GMT. \n\n\n\n\nPlease share \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\nWebinar \nThis is a webinar and it will be delivered via Microsoft Teams. 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. Job Quality\, Wellbeing and the Global Economy” is just published by Oxford University Press. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBook your place\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.
