The TRANSEUROWORKS project has been featured in a recent article by Neth-ER (Netherlands House for Education and Research), which shines a spotlight on how the project is contributing to European debates around labour market change and social protection. In the piece, Eduard Suari, part of the project’s coordination team at Leiden University, shares insights into the project’s objectives, progress, and future direction.
TRANSEUROWORKS, now entering its third year, is funded under the Horizon Europe programme and brings together researchers from across the continent to examine the impact of major structural changes—such as digitalisation, climate transitions, demographic shifts, and globalisation—on Europe’s labour markets. The project pays particular attention to identifying “winners and losers” of these transformations and assessing the capacity of welfare states to protect and support vulnerable groups through these changes.
In the interview, Eduard Suari explains how the project combines quantitative data analysis with qualitative case studies and policy engagement, aiming to generate actionable insights for policymakers, civil society, and academics alike. He also highlights the collaborative nature of the initiative, which fosters knowledge exchange between researchers and stakeholders at both national and EU levels.
This feature reflects growing interest in the project’s contributions to understanding how welfare systems must evolve to remain inclusive and effective in a rapidly changing economic landscape. With its interdisciplinary approach and strong policy relevance, TRANSEUROWORKS continues to position itself as a key player in shaping the conversation on the future of work in Europe.
