SEISMEC will demonstrate an empowered, human-centred and ethical development of digital and industrial technologies in 17 pilots in 19 companies from 14 countries across 14 industrial ecosystems. It will do so through a two-way engagement in the development of technologies, empowering end-users and workers, and supporting social innovation, in a process labelled the SEISMEC shift. It will contribute to increased inclusiveness, by supporting a human-centred approach to technology development that is aligned with European social and ethical values (including gender and intersectional aspects). The benefits of human centrism will be measured in Creativity, Collaboration, Autonomy, Automation, Productivity, Privacy, Safety and job Satisfaction, the CAPS empowerment factors for human-centrism. SEIMSECs two-way engagement introduces technical innovations such as explainability, co-development, feedback methods and interfaces to enhance human centrism, but also incorporates plans, needs and innovations from companies and their workers steering them towards an empowered human-centric Industry 5.0 path. The consortium brings together institutions at the forefront of engineering, computer science, networking and exploitation, coordinated by a world-leading social sciences and humanities university, and building up on groundbreaking European projects on industrial innovation. SEISMEC pilots are representative of all sectors and company sizes, and most European countries and worker roles. Every industrial enterprise in Europe will be able to see some aspect of their activity reflected in SEISMECs pilots and will be able to learn from the project’s outputs through an active campaign of cross-sector empowerment practices exchange. With a strong engagement of European, national and local stakeholders, SEISMEC is landmark effort in European industry’s shift to empowerment and human-centrism, one that puts the worker and European Values at the core of its global competitiveness

The BeWell project aims to form an alliance, to build a movement of all healthcare stakeholders supporting and committed to the development, implementation, and upscaling of the strategy on upskilling and reskilling of the European health workforce.The ultimate project aim is to develop a green and digital skills strategy for the health ecosystem that can be implemented at a local, regional, national, and ultimately at the European level through the Pact for Skills. By addressing the existing skill mismatches and strengthening these competencies, the project will enable the health workforce to be better prepared to face future challenges and adapt to ever-evolving societal contexts. To do this, the project will build comprehensive curricula and training programmes that will target all professionals of the health workforce, including for health students, health professionals (nurses, doctors, operators, managers) and professionals of emerging occupations. The training programmes co-created by universities, VET providers and companies will reach the target populations through initial education and continuing professional development.The project methodology is developed based on principles to respect and unite the diversity of Europe's health ecosystem: Patient centeredness; collaboration and co-creation; inclusiveness and diversity; Inter-sectorality; comparative research; dynamic coverage; digital skills for skill-mix innovations in care integration; green skills, and; environmental sustainability and responsible practice.The consortium consists of 24 beneficiaries and 5 associated partners from 11 countries.The geographical diversity in partners ensures the representation of different cultural, social, political, educational structures, values and traditions. The partnership brings together a substantial and diverse pool of leaders representing stakeholders in the health sector at regional, national, and European levels.
