Workshop on good policy practices across the EU regions

The current workshop aims to discuss policy practices that make labour markets more inclusive, while capitalising on the opportunities created by automation technologies. The following policy areas will be in the focus of the workshop – education and training, labour market and employment, innovation and entrepreneurship, migration and labour mobility. The project team will present findings collected through desk research and ten regional case studies across the EU (namely, in Germany (Köln), Denmark (Nordjylland), Czech Republic (Prague), Estonia, France (Pays de la Loire), Malta, Portugal (Lisbon), Poland (Dolnoslaskie, Közép-Dunántúl), and Latvia).

The discussion will be structured across the three effects associated with the impacts of automation technologies on the labour market:

• Job displacement effect (i.e., elimination of tasks or jobs, leading to unemployment or underemployment)
• Job creation effect (i.e., creation of new jobs in existing or new organisations)
• Job transformation effect (i.e., a change in the nature/organisation of work and social dialogue between employers and employees)

The workshop will take place Brussels (Belgium) on 29 June 2023 between 9:00 and 13:45 (Brussels time, GMT+2). Additionally, an online version of the workshop focusing on the same topics will take place on 29 June 2023 between 14:00 and 17:30.
