WP 1

Twin transition
conceptual framework

Description

WP1 builds a comprehensive Knowledge Base on the Green and Digital Transitions and their Interrelations, focusing on Skills and Jobs. It classifies European Regions and Sectors by Transition Capacity, identifies Jobs and Skills driving or affected by these changes, and develops a Twin Transition and Job Skill Matrix. By creating Skill Resilience Indicators and a Conceptual Framework with Stakeholder Input, it supports Pathways for Resilient, Future-Proof Labour Markets.

WP 2

European labour market resilience management

Description

WP2 investigates how the twintransition, alongside other drivers of change, shapes job creation,destruction, and sectoral shifts across regions. It identifies anddevelops indicators to monitor transition pathways, highlightsgroups and places at risk of being left behind, and examines theirresponses to reskilling and upskilling. The results will provideevidence-based recommendations for tracking economictransitions and supporting inclusive, resilient labour markets.

WP 3

Labour markets in transition

Description

The aim of Work Package 3, Labour Markets in Transition, is to investigate how European labour markets adapt to the twin transition by focusing on resilience mechanisms, social inclusion and exclusion dynamics, and emerging challenges. The principal undertaking of WP3 is to coordinate case studies across five different sectors: tourism, food, agriculture, transportation, and energy. Each case will encompass at least two regions, enabling a series of comparative analyses that capture variations in geographic, institutional, and socio-economic contexts.

WP 4

Institutions in transition

Description

In WP4, we analyze how Institutional Contexts of Labor Markets, such as the Rules and Norms shaping Collaboration among Actors, are evolving in response to Global Trends such as Digitalization and the Green Transition. At the same time, we explore how Regional Actors actively shape these Contexts to ensure a Socially Inclusive and Fair Transformation. The Insights gained will be used in Interactive Stakeholder Workshops to identify Governance Challenges and Opportunities and to develop concrete Recommendations for necessary Institutional Adjustments.
