First European Labour Market Intelligence and Resilience Cluster Meeting

The First European Labour Market Intelligence & Resilience Cluster Meeting took part on 25 February, bringing together nine EU-funded projects working under the common theme of labour market transformation.

The meeting aimed to lay the foundations for structured collaboration among projects addressing skills intelligence, mismatch detection, reskilling systems, labour mobility, and policy design. While each initiative approaches transformation from a distinct angle — green transition, digitalisation, globalisation, and demographic change — all share the objective of supporting informed policymaking and sustainable employment across Europe.

A central theme of the discussion was the need to move beyond reactive labour market monitoring towards anticipatory, data-driven and AI-supported policy design. Participants explored how combining methodologies, tools, and datasets could strengthen the full labour market policy cycle — from intelligence generation to implementation, evaluation, and resilience-building.

In the coming months, the cluster will organise thematic online workshops to deepen cooperation and identify concrete areas for joint action. A joint event with European institutions is also under consideration, with the aim of presenting a synthesis of findings and demonstrating the added value of coordinated labour market intelligence initiatives.
