Acronym of the project: WE-TRANSFORM
Combining expertise across all facets of transport and analytical tools, WE-TRANSFORM aims to apply a participatory approach, using Collective Intelligence (CI), to generate an evidence-based and action-oriented agenda to research, formulate and prioritize the challenges connected to the effects of automation on the transport labor force, on future working conditions and on skills requirements.
The WE-TRANSFORM consortium, leveraging existing data and people’s expertise, and empowered by the range and depth of its composition, will create a system of thematic and modal cross national living hub as a knowledge & prioritization agenda-creation platform, offering a path forward for smarter decisions, more innovative and evidence-based policymaking, through informed governance.
The approach of WE-TRANSFORM is highly collaborative, promoting discovery, debate and prioritization of themes by the active participation of representative types of stakeholders, using state-of-the-art data collection and analysis tools while drawing information and themes for the collectively constructed agenda from wide-ranging environments. The composition of the consortium and the Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to be used guarantee access and involvement across a wide range of relevant parties ranging from transport-chains’ stakeholders and extending to citizens’ associations and beyond including information mining from electronic social media.
Robust analytical tools are combined with information findings drawn at AI speed and coverage potential, while the simulation of a social debate within a living hub environment allows the dialogue and ultimately the formulation of a collectively defined agenda enriched with co-created knowledge. The proposal includes also a final provision for maintaining the electronic environment created in a sustainable way as to serve for future research in the area.
The WE-TRANSFORM has 36 partners with a balanced complementary set of multi-disciplinary competencies.
Transport and Telecommunication Institute (TSI) will have a major role in the following tasks:
WP1: Project management
WP2: Knowledge creation living hub
WP3: Inventory analysis and knowledge co-creation
WP4: Assessment of impacts of automation on the transport labour force
TSI Involvement overview:
The first kick-off meeting was held on 15th and 22nd December 2020.
Total budget of the project: EUR 2 499 396,25
