HE bridges 5.0

Bridging risks to an inclusive digital and green future by enhancing workforce skills for industry 5.0

This 4-year Horizon Europe-funded project examines the skills needed to deliver a digital and green future in Europe. ‘Bridges’ has four objectives, to:

1) quantitatively map how jobs are transforming and what new green and digital jobs are emerging, and qualitatively understand Industry 5.0 requirements (human- and socio-centric, sustainable and resilient for these jobs and company practices);

2) map Industry 5.0 skills and skill gaps in emerging green and digital jobs at the EU-level and five EU countries; and enable monitoring of skill gaps using skill taxonomies/standards;

3) set up learning trajectories and training pathways, and experiment with these interventions to reduce skill gaps for four target groups: managers, employees, jobseekers and students;

4) engage a range of industry and related stakeholders at regional, national and EU levels and co-produce a web platform called Industry 5.0 Platform. The outcomes will help ensure the right supply of skilled workers to support companies to deal with the digital and green transitions to a more sustainable, resilient and fairer future for Europe. The project runs from 2023-26. The project consortium, led by TNO in the Netherlands, includes 21 universities and other organisations.

The UK team is led by IER and includes 91¸£Àû Manufacturing Group.
