1. FIT FOR THE NEW WORLD OF DIGITAL WORK? Project Presentation
Duration: –

2. Why do this project?
Digitisation is changing all social and economic areas of life and has a great influence on work and employment.
We chose to do this project because this region is very important to us:
our countries are located geographically very close to one another and we are all a part of the Danube region.
Our economies are also interlaced
Our labour markets are also connected through the membership in the European Union, also with Serbia being a candidate country
All people in the common region are faced with many challenges with regard to education, employment and prosperity which will take on a new dimension through digitisation and this new dimension must be shaped by the social partners

3. The main purpose of the project is to enhance existing cooperation between the social partners in Austria, Bulgaria, Romania and Serbia in order to develop a common approach for the upcoming challenges .
