Crafted. Tested. Delivered.
Employability
In 2025, we explored the evolving employment landscape across Europe, examining current realities while identifying the structural, economic, and social challenges shaping the labour market at a European level. Our work brought together data, comparative research, and on-the-ground analysis to capture both long-term trends and emerging shifts — from skills and labour mobility to demographic change, digitalisation, and the green transition.
As part of this effort, we launched a dedicated survey shared with employees and jobseekers across different geographic areas of Europe, reflecting diverse genders, age groups, and professional situations. This initiative allows us to ground our analysis in lived experience, offering a clearer picture of how labour market dynamics are perceived and experienced across contexts. By amplifying these voices, we aimed to better understand the realities people face today and the challenges shaping their expectations for the future of work.
Through rigorous research and critical analysis, we generated insights that moved beyond diagnosis toward understanding impact. By connecting evidence with experience, we supported informed and constructive dialogue among policymakers, social partners, and stakeholders, contributing to policy development that is both responsive and grounded in reality. Our approach recognised the diversity of national contexts within Europe, while highlighting shared challenges that call for coordinated and forward-looking responses.
Importantly, this work did not seek to close the conversation with the publication of research or a report. On the contrary, it is intended as a starting point — opening space for deeper dialogue, reflection, and collective engagement. By doing so, we aim to support meaningful change in the field and contribute to the development of a more resilient, fair, and future-ready European labour market that works for people, employers, and societies alike.
Sustainability
In 2026, we will launch a new project — European Sustainability — exploring sustainability across Europe, examining current practices while analysing emerging challenges and environmental realities at a European level. The project will focus on how sustainability policies and commitments translate into action across different sectors and regions, capturing both structural trends and evolving dynamics in Europe’s environmental transition. By combining a long-term perspective with attention to recent developments, the project aims to provide a clear and balanced understanding of where Europe stands today.
At the core of the project is the objective to generate evidence-based insights that support informed dialogue and decision-making. Through research, comparative analysis, and engagement with relevant stakeholders, we will identify key challenges, assess the effectiveness of existing approaches, and highlight practices with the potential to drive systemic change. This work will reflect the diversity of national and regional contexts within Europe, while also pointing to shared priorities that require coordinated responses.
To achieve this, the project will adopt a structured research approach that brings together desk research, qualitative analysis, and participatory methods. By integrating institutional data with perspectives from across Europe, we aim to bridge the gap between policy ambitions and environmental realities, ensuring that the analysis remains grounded, relevant, and forward-looking.
The project will culminate in the publication of a comprehensive report in 2026. This report is not intended as an endpoint, but as a starting point for deeper engagement — opening space for continued dialogue, collaboration, and action at a European level. By doing so, the project seeks to contribute to tangible impact and support the development of a more resilient and sustainable future for Europe.
Social Inclusion
In 2026, we will introduce Building Inclusive Societies in Europe, a project dedicated to understanding how inclusion, belonging, and participation are shaped across European societies. The project will look beyond policy frameworks alone, focusing on how social inclusion is experienced in everyday life and how social, economic, and institutional factors interact to either widen or reduce inequalities. By doing so, it seeks to capture the complexities that define social cohesion in a rapidly changing Europe.
The project aims to shed light on the mechanisms that enable or hinder inclusive societies, with the objective of supporting more equitable and people-centred approaches at a European level. Through comparative research and analytical work, we will explore structural drivers of exclusion, examine gaps between intention and implementation, and identify approaches that strengthen access, participation, and equal opportunities. This analysis will reflect varied realities across regions and communities within Europe, while pointing to areas where collective action can make a difference.
To deliver this, the project will combine desk research with qualitative and participatory methods, designed to capture perspectives that are often underrepresented in policy debates. By bringing together data, narratives, and contextual analysis, we aim to produce insights that are both rigorous and grounded, connecting institutional priorities with lived social realities across Europe.
The project will culminate in the publication of a report in 2026, conceived not as a conclusion but as an invitation. Rather than closing discussion, it will open space for exchange, learning, and collaboration among policymakers, practitioners, and civil society. In doing so, Building Inclusive Societies in Europe seeks to support long-term reflection and contribute to meaningful progress toward more inclusive and cohesive European societies.
