Organised by the Institute for Structural Research (IBS), Institute for Employment Research (IAB), the international scientific conference Jobs, Skills, and Productivity in Structural Transformations aims to bring together leading scholars in the social sciences to address the challenges of the employability, skill mismatches and skill upgrading, social cohesion, and public policy responses to industrial and structural transitions.

The conference marks the third international conference of the ELMI Network (Network of European Labour Market Research Institutes), composed of 11 research institutes to facilitate the international exchange of best practices, ideas and people (www.elmi-network.eu). It promotes multi-disciplinary European research collaborations, and the exchange of best practices in data management, data access, and discussions with policy-makers and stakeholders.

We are particularly interested in papers that address the following issues:

Labour market consequences and long-term career trajectories of workers affected by deindustralisation and large structural shifts
The impact of green and digital transitions on skill demand and skill mismatches
Labour market consequences of military rearmament
Regional disparities in labour market adaptation to structural change
The role of education systems in preparing workers for structural transitions
The effectiveness of active labour market policies (ALMPs) in addressing structural transformations
