ELA TECH Conference: call for papers now open!

Pursuing the evermore demanding need for digitalization in labour mobility, ELA will organize a TECH conference to discuss innovative technological solutions supporting application and enforcement of labour mobility rules using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML).

For this purpose, ELA is also launching a call for papers to gather and share knowledge about relevant IT tools and solutions using AI/ML in support of the labour mobility. Selected papers will be presented by the proponents during the TECH Conference.

The conference will bring together all relevant players within national authorities, industry, and academia to exchange knowledge, expertise and experience, but also to identify current trends, developments, and best practices in the field through the use of AI / ML for such purpose.

Call for papers 2023

We are looking for smart and innovative ideas, tools, and best practices when using Artificial Intelligence or Machine Learning. Submit your paper by October 15th, 2023.

All proposals using AI/ML within the scope of labour mobility are welcome, whether from well-established companies in the technological sector, start-ups enterprises, governmental and non-governmental organisations (NGOs), academic institutions or individual initiatives.

An indicative, but not exhaustive, list of innovative and ready to use digital solutions that the Authority is interested in, with the aim of being presented at this Conference are:

AI based Labour Market Analysis (market trends, predictive modelling, forecasting of skills gaps)
AI based job matching (skill and qualification assessments)
AI based solutions, which enable citizens to use public services , e. g. application for A1 forms,
Leveraging AI for overcoming regulatory barriers and fostering labour mobility
Ethical aspects of applying AI in the field of labour market mobility (fairness, bias, discrimination, etc.)
AI enabled solutions for re-skilling and upskilling of workers
Implications of AI for the European Social Security System and Labour Market Mobility
Practical uses of AI to enhance better secure exchange of information
AI based initiatives for promoting the labour market integration of vulnerable groups of workers, (AI language learning tools)
AI based language learning and cultural adaption tools for work force integration
Other AI related ideas, not presented in the supra mentioned items, that could have potential application in the field of Labour Mobility for cross-border cooperation, including “new” forms of labour mobility, notably platform work, cross-border telework/remote work
