Implications of digital transformation for migrant labour

Accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic, rapid digitalisation has fundamentally transformed European working conditions. While its positive consequences are well recognised, digital transformation also puts a sorely needed part of the European workforce at risk of unemployment, poverty and social exclusion. IDILAB (Implications of digital transformation for migrant labour) investigates the impacts that technological progress and subsequent structural changes have on the labour market integration of migrant workers. By developing a new methodological approach, IDILAB shall provide novel evidence on migrants’ exposure to the process of digitalisation, and formulate evidence-based and innovative policy options for the EU and national governments to improve on the scope and adequacy of national and European policy directed at encouraging a fair digital transition for all, including migrants. The proposed project will contribute with new knowledge on migrants’ own perspectives on barriers and enablers for a sustainable integration in a fast-changing labour market. I, the experienced researcher (Dr Olga Gheorghiev, the Czech Republic), will work with a European centre of excellence (the Research Centre for Digitalisation of Public Services and Citizenship (CEDIC, OsloMet, Norway), and the European Trade Union Institute (ETUI, Belgium) for intersectoral knowledge transfer, career development, and European added value.

CULTUral heritage in RurAL remote areas for creative tourism and sustainabilITY

The main objective of the project is to contribute to the promotion of cultural and creative tourism activities, considering the different capacities, resources, and specificities (material, creative, human...) of the territories, as a mean to help with the sustainable development of peripheral rural areas, favoring job creation and population settlement. For this, the potential of its cultural heritage will be researched, taking into account both the artisan material culture (techniques, materials, patterns and decorative elements), as well as the intangible culture (music, oral knowledge and culinary traditions) as a resource.
 
To promote non-seasonal tourism as a form of sustainable development with a stable population settlement we are going to research the crafts linked to the territory and their implications, but we will also carry out a documentation of the productive processes. First and foremost, we are going to cater to the necessities of the local communities and pay attention to aspects related to societal groups at risk of exclusion, such as women, the elderly and the youth.

All this will be developed from a multidisciplinary perspective, for which we will count on the various teams —most of them linked to different countries— that will be part of the consortium. Each of these partners will contribute to the development, as well as to the final result of the project through input directly related to their area of ??expertise: for example, among the collaborators we have intellectual teams specialized in the digitalization of heritage, research, or communication and dissemination, as well as as various institutions that will act as a testing ground for the more practical parts of the proposal. However, if something will characterize our work, it will be the constant collaboration between all parties, as well as the exchange of advice and experiences that will help to enrich collective knowledge and guarantee optimal results.

POWERING ARTISTIC AND CULTURAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP TO DRIVE THE CLIMATE TRANSITION

PACESETTERS responds to the abstract challenge of the climate transitions by shifting from a model of entrepreneurship based on individual, short-term incentives to one that is driven by co-agency and new capacities to act together in sustainable ways. It does so by examining the concrete circumstances, investigating possible support mechanisms and stress-testing instruments that enable art and culture, creativity and heritage to drive the climate transition.
Therefore, PACESETTERS will set out to:
-Create knowledge from collaborative research to keep pace with the transition
-Propose and test creative business models to set the pace of the transition
-Assess strategies of valorisation to push the pace of the transition
 
This approach will identify and analyse advanced practices that run transversally across the cultural and creative sectors; contextualise the outcomes of co-research in real-world laboratories for social imagination; further develop and promote the preliminary results of experiments in iterative support and evaluation frames. The PACESETTERS approach centres on inclusion, participation and iteration in order ensure that gender equity and diversity inform it at every step and on every level.

The result will be a critical evaluation and all-encompassing demonstration of the actual potentials of the CCIs to drive the climate transition while systematically analysing their impact on micro-, meso- and macro-level:
-Understanding the climate transition as a triple transition: green, digital and inclusive
-Innovating aPACESETTERS responds to the abstract challenge of the climate transitions by shifting from a model of entrepreneurship based on individual, short-term incentives to one that is driven by co-agency and new capacities to act together.

Strengthening resilience and mental wellbeing through the Support4Resilience toolbox for leaders in elderly care

European elderly care experiences labor shortages, lack of qualified workers and a mismatch between capacity and demands, causing stress, burnout, and reduced mental wellbeing among healthcare workers and informal caregivers. Leaders are crucial in promoting supportive working conditions but lack research-based measures to act upon these challenges.

Support4Resilience (S4R) will develop, implement, and evaluate a research-based Toolbox to support healthcare leaders in improving healthcare workers’ and informal caregivers’ resilience and mental wellbeing in elderly care. S4R will identify resilience and mental wellbeing factors among healthcare workers and informal caregivers; explore their perspectives and needs; develop new theory on the relationship between individual and organizational resilience, and mental wellbeing; and develop recommendations and cost-effective interventions. The Toolbox with tailormade resources for policy and practical use will be available through an open access S4R Resource Bank.

The S4R Toolbox includes three main tools: 1) Mapping and identification, 2) Reflection and education, and 3) Reorganization. Measures are initiated at the organizational level and effects on mental wellbeing and resilience transpire at the frontline of elderly care. The Toolbox covers different situational contexts, types of healthcare providers and health system levels. Elderly care settings in six European countries will implement and evaluate the Toolbox through a process evaluation, effectiveness evaluation, and cost-effectiveness evaluation. 

S4R provides policymakers, decisions-makers and leaders with solutions for taking action to solve specific risks for healthcare workers’ and informal caregivers’ resilience and mental wellbeing. Thus, pertinent to the work programme, S4R will support the development of resilient health systems in European elderly care through improved leadership capabilities, governance structures, and adaptive capacities.

Providing research infrastructure services to support Next Generation EU

This four-year project will harness outputs from key social science RIs in Europe and other reliable sources to support the aims of the ‘Next Generation EU’ programme and to inform EU youth policy. Virtual access will be provided to the outputs through special installations (portals) developed during the project. The core of the proposal is a set of existing research ‘services’, which will be re-purposed and customised to focus directly on the five themes: Make it Green; Make it Digital; Make it Healthy; Make it Strong; and Make it Equal. 

For each area, the consortium will work collaboratively to produce seven sets of resources:

i)	A searchable inventory of relevant variables drawn from multiple cross-national datasets; 

ii)	Analytical summaries, suitable for policy makers and analysts new to the field, as well as interactive resources available through the project portal;

iii)	Harmonised and merged extracts from these datasets that reduce the burden on analysts and increase sample sizes;

iv)	New data collected through the ESS’s established CRONOS web panel infrastructure. Eleven countries will field five waves of the panel, each one dedicated to a NextGenEU theme. Free and rapid access to the data will be available through the CRONOS portal alongside analytical summaries;

v)	In-person and virtual deliberative forums with young people (aged 18-34) in four countries covering the five Next Generation EU’ themes;

vi)	An educational tool (E-NextGen) channelling our data for use in classrooms and by the general public;

vii)	Comprehensive training materials related to all project outputs.


Mapping of Longitudinal data of Inequalities in Education

The MapIE project aims to identify mechanisms causing educational inequalities and policies or interventions compensating for them. We do a systematic review of how these have been studied internationally using longitudinal designs. We map existing longitudinal data that we describe in a public metadata database, and we analyse them to describe the mechanisms of inequalities and to identify effective policies and interventions in different local contexts. We focus on the contextual differences between the Nordic and Central European countries that have structurally different education systems. Within national contexts and using comparative research designs, we look at system-, regional- and school-level policies and practices and individual-level factors (e.g. socioeconomic status, immigrant background, gender, special educational needs) that are associated with the development of educational inequalities and the successful prevention of achievement gaps. We publish and disseminate the empirical results of the project through multiple channels to scientific audiences, policy makers and the wider public. At the end, we create a public framework for studying educational inequalities longitudinally in future studies, acknowledging the role of local contexts but aiming for comparability at the European level. 

We implement the project in seven work packages. Our consortium consists of internationally acknowledged experts in large-scale educational assessment research from Finland, Sweden, Norway, Hungary and Luxembourg/Germany. The partners have a long-standing history of collaboration with each other, European researchers, and national and international education policy makers, and they bring extensive longitudinal datasets to the project. The project will considerably strengthen the knowledge base of what shapes educational outcomes over time, how to best support the learning of all students and how to reduce education inequalities in the short, medium and long term.

Contextualized pathways to reduce housing inequalities in the green and digital transition.

The project Reducing housing inequalities in the green and digital transition (ReHousIn) is committed to better understand the impacts of recent crises on housing inequalities across different European regions, especially with regard to the implementation of the green transition launched by the EU. The overall aim is to explore the mechanisms affecting the (re)production of housing inequalities under recent crisis conditions, and the impacts of the EU induced green transition in different national contexts and along different degrees of urbanisation. Based on a contextualized and comparative understanding of the mechanisms (re)producing housing inequalities, ReHousIn inquiries into multi-level pathways and inclusive local housing initiatives to spark innovative EU, national and local policy solutions towards inclusionary and quality housing, mitigating the possible negative impacts of the EU induced green transition. It conducts a comparative, multi-level analysis in 9 European countries – Austria, France, Hungary, Italy, Norway, Poland, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom – focusing on attractive metropolitan regions, middle-sized cities and rural areas by means of a mixed-method project design. A quantitative data analysis on recent trends in housing inequalities and their relation to crises across different levels of urbanization will provide the framework for 27 local cases studies in which the impact of multi-level trajectories of housing-system, welfare regimes and environmental policy instrumentations on the (re)production of local housing inequalities and the emergence of inclusive housing initiatives are analyzed. Based on this, ReHousIn compares mechanisms of differentiation feeding into policy labs, aiming to formulate recommendations on how to tackle negative social externalities related the EU green transition at EU, national and local levels.

Strategies for achieving equity and inclusion in education, training and learning in democratic Europe

STRIDE will provide a new, comprehensive and comparative knowledge-base on effective education reforms, policy initiatives and interventions aimed at reducing inequalities in education, training and learning outcomes in Europe. STRIDE will do this through analyses of education reforms in national and regional systems, existing large-scale educational assessment data and existing longitudinal data on the causal link between educational and other social policies and inequalities in educational achievements. In examining the learning progress of students over time, STRIDE will closely examine to the range of intersectional variables such as socio-economic background, gender, (dis)abilities, migration status, home language, early childhood education and care (ECEC) attendance, which may affect learning outcomes in different ways in different contexts. The project will combine diverse methods, data and disciplines (comparative education, political science, education science, sociology) in innovative ways: mapping at national and regional levels on (1) education reforms in the past 25 years by policy analysis, (2) longitudinal trends of inequalities in educational achievement by quasi-experiment analysis of existing large-scale educational assessment data, and (3) effect of education reforms and interventions by analysis existing longitudinal data and registry data following student cohorts over time combined with a qualitative inquiry into policymakers' perspective. Through the involvement of national and European stakeholders, STRIDE will develop methodology and assessment tools for policy learning offering policymakers a toolbox of enhanced knowledge of what shapes educational outcomes over time and demonstrating the usefulness of longitudinal data in policy-making to reduce educational inequalities in the short, medium and long term.

dialoguing@rts – Advancing Cultural Literacy for Social Inclusion through Dialogical Arts Education

d@rts is a catalyst for increasing social cohesion and inclusion, using embodied performing arts activities to develop cognitive and affective cultural literacy. We recognise that the performing arts encompass mass-market consumer goods, as well as non-linguistic, embodied and social activities, providing massive opportunities for inclusive participation.
Our target groups comprise actors of all ages and social positions, especially in the school system and in community arts initiatives. We will empower these groups to be artistically active, dialogically related and culturally literate, giving them tools and motivation to improve their own situations and those of others within the overall frame of a cohesive European society, informed by global perspectives.
Using the post-colonial insight that culture is necessarily heterogeneous, d@rts has four related objectives:
1. Understand how performing arts activities relate to cultural literacy in official discourse and documents across partner countries
2. Use this understanding to build dialogues and co-create physical and digital actions with heterogeneous groups within our target audience
3. Develop assessment tools for these actions, enabling measurable growth in cultural literacy
4. Use our findings in recommendations for cultural and educational policies that build long-term social cohesion and inclusion
Based on these objectives, the overall outputs comprise:
1. Documentary, survey and participatory research findings
2. Performative DIALOGART actions for cultural literacy
3. Policy and practice recommendations to increase social cohesion via cultural literacy actions inspired by the performing arts
d@rts imagines new futures and creates hope and social cohesion through performing arts education. By creating participatory spaces and facilitating dialogues, we empower voices seldom heard. d@rts thus advances cultural literacy, and enhances social cohesion and resilience, to build an inclusive future for Europe.

REGULAR AND UNPLANNED CARE ADAPTIVE DASHBOARD FOR CROSS–BORDER EMERGENCIES

During cross-border health emergencies, health and care services may be overwhelmed by high numbers of patients requiring unplanned care. Delays and backlogs in regular care, as a result of the stretched health care system, leave millions of patients with regular care needs unattended, resulting in disastrous healthcare outcomes. If poor healthcare outcomes across the population are to be avoided, healthcare systems must become more resilient and flexible and allow for rapid changes in the care delivery services. RAPIDE’s aim is to develop, validate and demonstrate a portfolio of powerful tools that enable healthcare systems to build in robustness of decisions, resilience of the health care professionals and patients and flexibility in the modalities of care delivery, thereby maintaining access to regular care during health emergencies. 

RAPIDE emphasises opportunities for optimising in-hospital care, but also for relocating care from hospitals to community and home environments without loss of care quality. Thus, the project focuses on two closely-linked challenges – 1: Identifying and predicting how much care, and which care, needs to be moved along the care chain; 2: Identifying and verifying effective, feasible and acceptable ways to make this reconfiguration of care a reality. This will be achieved by (a) resource modelling, which builds comprehensive foresight and forecasting solutions and links them to patient flows optimization, along the whole chain of care, (b) selecting and implementing the best available tools to deliver regular care in new ways. To ensure usability, acceptability and equitable real-world value, RAPIDE will be co-designed and co-validated with stakeholders, from patients, GPs, clinicians and hospital managers to health ministries, pandemic-management and public health agencies. A Table Top Exercise and extensive communication and dissemination will raise awareness of the project’s successes.

Prosjektet ble avsluttet i april 2014, og alle planlagte publikasjonene er nå enten publisert, akseptert eller sendt til tidsskrift/bokredaktører. Prosjektet har dermed fulgt planlagt framdrift. I prosjektperioden har forskerne skrevet artikler eller bokk apitler som tar for seg politiske drivkrefter og barrierer som påvirker utviklingen mot en grønnere energipolitikk i Kina, USA, og EU. Her er noen utvalg: Vennemo har skrevet en artikkel om "Why China Develops New Renewable Energy" som ser spesielt på sta tseide kinesiske firmaers rolle i beslutningsprosessen rundt fornybar energi i Kina, og hvordan implementeringen av politiske direktiver foregår. Bang og Skodvin har skrevet til sammen to bokkapitler om hvordan skifergassrevolusjonen påvirker politiske be slutninger relatert til klimapolitikk i USA: ett med utgangspunkt i hvordan debatten har forløpt i Kongressen (Bang og Skodvin: US Climate Policy and the Shale Gas revolution", og ett som ser på hvordan USAs rolle i internasjonal klimapolitikk kan endres  som resultat av skifergassrevolusjonen (Bang: The US and international climate negotiations"). Fisher har skrevet artikkelen "From Boomerang Federalism to Hybrid Governance" som analyserer mekanismer som har gjort at føderale klimapolitiske tiltak har bli tt forsøkt videreført i lokal regi på by- og delstatsnivå i USA. Gullberg har skrevet en rekke artikler om utviklingen av politikk for å insentivere fornybar energi i EU og Norge. Artikkelen "Information or pressure? Lobbying for binding interim renewable  energy targets in the EU" analyseres lobbying strategier brukt av pressgrupper i EU. I artikkelen " Look to Sweden: The Making of a New Renewable Energy Support Scheme in Norway" analyserer Gullberg og Bang konsekvensene av endringer i EU for norsk energ ipolitikk. Gullberg har også samarbeidet tett med Schreurs og Ohlhorst i to artikler som sammenlikner utviklingen av fornybarpolitikk i Norge og Tyskland: "Towards a low carbon energy future: Renewable energy cooperation between Norway and Germany". Schre urs har i tillegg bidratt med en rekke publikasjoner og foredrag om den store energipolitiske omstillingen i Tyskland og Japan etter Fukushima-katastrofen i 2011. 
Forskerne har vært svært aktive med formidlingsarbeid. Vi har holdt foredrag, skrevet arti kler i magasinet Klima, vært intervjuet i alle typer medier, vært aktive på Twitter, og skrevet kronikker og kommentarer i norske aviser.


The project will identify and compare internal and external driving forces and barriers to the transition towards low carbon energy systems in Norway, the US, EU and China, and discuss the relevance for Norwegian energy policy development. All of these co untries are now exploring policy pathways to a low carbon energy future. For the first time, climate and energy policies are addressed simultaneously and linked in the sense that climate policy priorities have implications for the range of available energ y policy alternatives. Conversely, energy policy priorities have implications for the effectiveness of climate policy.
Previous energy policy research has mainly studied the technological and economical challenges facing decision makers. In contrast, this  project will contribute to the literature by addressing systematically the effects of diverse domestic interests within significantly different policy systems (federal, parliamentary, communist), and the effects of domestic heterogeneity for finding poli tically feasible policy solutions. Applying both case studies and comparative research methodology to analyze the incentive and barrier structures for decision making across these countries we will also contribute new knowledge about the effect of policy  diffusion mechanisms for energy policy decisions.
Project papers will investigate two complementary theoretical perspectives: 1) The perspective on political feasibility of public policy assumes that energy policy outcome is a response to country-specific  political framework conditions. 2) The perspective on policy diffusion says that countries factor in the choices of other governments when they make policy choices. 
We aim to publish nine peer-reviewed papers in international journals. The project group  consists of internationally renowned experts within the field, and will support one post-doc fellowship. All project participants will be involved in networking, conferences, courses and outreach activities.

Towards a low carbon energy future: Norway's policy opportunities and constraints in an international comparative perspective.

Kreft er en kompleks sykdom. Hver enkelt svulst har et unikt sett av genmutasjoner og et særegent mønster for hvordan disse genene fungerer i kreftcellen. Det har nylig blitt klart at forstyrrelser i interaksjoner mellom gener og proteiner også er unike og kan drive tumorutvikling og progresjon. I dette prosjektet planlegger vi å utvikle avanserte beregningsverktøy som kan modellere nettverket av interaksjoner for individuelle svulster. Vi vil bruke disse verktøyene til å identifisere de delene av nettverket der interaksjoner er ødelagt og som fører til utvikling og progresjon av kreft. Vi kommer til å analysere hvert enkelt nettverk for å kunne forstå hvorfor enkelte pasienter har en mer aggressiv sykdom enn andre og hvorfor noen kreftformer ikke responderer på behandling. Til slutt vil vi bruke dataintegrasjonsmetoder og kunstig intelligens for å kombinere disse nettverkene med kreftmutasjoner og klinisk informasjon. Dette vil identifisere nye undergrupper av kreft som er forårsaket av forskjellige biologiske endringer og som kan tenkes å respondere ulikt på kreftbehandlinger. Det vil også føre til at nye persontilpassede terapier til disse pasientene blir identifisert. Kort oppsummert vil vårt foreslåtte prosjekt bidra til å finne mekanismer som driver hver enkelt kreft, noe som demonstrerer potensialet innen presisjonsnettverksmedisin.

In the past decade, next generation sequencing technologies have been widely applied to study cancer. Large collaborative efforts have mapped various ‘omics landscapes, including gene expression, mutations, and methylation profiles, for a wide variety of cancer types. However, the impact of these approaches on patient outcomes has been limited. It has become clear that, in order to understand what drives cancer and to identify new biomarkers and therapeutic targets, we need to integrate multiple ‘omics data types to gain greater insight into the molecular interactions that occur in the development and progression of the disease.

In this project, we propose to develop advanced computational tools to model transcriptional and post-transcriptional gene regulatory interactions in large-scale gene regulatory networks by integrating transcription factor and miRNA binding with target gene co-expression information. We will use an innovative mathematical approach to model these networks for individual cancer patients. We will develop new computational tools using methodologies from network science and machine learning to integrate these large-scale patient-specific networks with mutation data and with clinical information.

We will apply our tools to large-scale pan-cancer datasets to map the pan-cancer atlas of gene regulation. For each cancer type, we will analyze individual patient networks in the context of heterogeneity, response to treatment, and survival. In parallel, we will perform a pan-cancer analysis to uncover similarities and differences in regulatory interactions across multiple cancer types. We will perform experimental validation to test the involvement of candidate regulatory interactions in cancer development. This work will advance the field of precision network medicine, improve our understanding of gene regulation in cancer, and identify the underlying biological mechanisms that drive cancer development, progression, and clinical phenotypes.
