Bridges WP2 assesses the transformations of jobs in the context of so-called “fourth industrial revolution” and the necessary workforce skills for the development of Industry 5.0.

The Industry 5.0 in Theory and Practice webinar brought together researchers and practitioners from across Europe to explore how Industry 5.0 is evolving—from a policy concept to a practical framework shaping organisational change.

The first BRIDGES/EUWIN webinar of 2026 brought together researchers, practitioners, and policy thinkers from across Europe to explore one of the most urgent conversations in industrial transformation today: how Industry 5.0 can meaningfully connect organisational innovation, worker empowerment, and wider societal value.
