Inclusive Futures for Europe BEYOND Industrie4.0 and Digital Disruption
TNO, PEROSH member from The Netherlands, is the coordinator of the HORIZON 2020 BEYOND 4.0 project.
The conference is organised by the BEYOND4.0 Consortium and the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (in collaboration with the European School of Social Innovation ESSI, the European Workplace Innovation EUWIN network and other networks and projects such as Paradigms4.0) in order to give international researchers in social sciences an opportunity to exchange the results of recent research in different fields of the consequences of digital transformations on work and employment.
The BEYOND4.0 Project aims to help deliver an inclusive European future by examining the impact of new technologies on the future of jobs, business models and welfare. BEYOND 4.0 addresses the general priorities of the H2020 Work Programme (2018-2020) “Europe in a changing world – Inclusive, innovative and reflective societies”, more about it you can find on project’s website.
The conference aim is to present and discuss project findings thus far. In addition, relevant contributions from other EU projects and research on the digital transformation are encouraged in order to synergize and synthesize results.
The conference will include keynote plenary sessions.
