Project:

The main objective of the project is to strengthen the ability of workers’ organisations to deal with the challenges arising from the digitalisation of production, thus creating the conditions for the spread of Industry 4.0, as well as contributing to reconverting present factories and helping them to be more competitive. To do so, the project will bring together research centres and workers’ organisations from different EU countries, in an effort to design and carry out information and training measures as well as social dialogue initiatives, specifically targeted to employees’ representatives in the manufacturing sector. The outcomes of the project are intended to serve as a basis to develop further training initiatives as well as to elaborate policies to be implemented unilaterally and/or within the framework of social dialogue in the relevant sector, both at a European and national level.
