Description

Overview

Objectives

Projects should contribute to deepening the understanding of the impact of new technologies on human skills and jobs, and explore complementarities and synergies.

Activities/actions supported

Examples of research activities carried out under this topic include the development of criteria to assess the complementarity of specific new technologies with human skills and vice versa. This could include an analysis of specific applications of new technologies (such as artificial intelligence technologies and robotics), possibly with a sectoral or occupational focus. It could also include the development of policy recommendations to support technologies and skills/training courses that are conducive to a digital transition that creates more good jobs. Clustering and cooperation with other selected projects under this call and other relevant projects are strongly encouraged.

Anticipated outcomes

Projects should contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:

  • Deepened our understanding on the potential and impact of new technologies such as artificial intelligence technologies and robotics to substitute or complement human skills and in performing job tasks.
  • Development and deployment of technologies that complement and enhance human skills, and development of the corresponding skills in the workforce.
