First press release
SEISMEC -Supporting European Industry Success Maximization through Empowerment Centred development- aims to demonstrate the concept of human-centricity across a wide array of industry sectors, scales and sociotechnical contexts in the EU. Through 17 pilots spanning 14 key industrial ecosystems embedded in the European Single Market, SEISMEC will demonstrate how human-centric solutions can effectively empower workers in the co-design and co-development of new technologies, thus facilitating the journey towards a skills-driven and creativity-infused industrial landscape; one that is built around high-quality, sustainable jobs, and prioritises overall worker security and satisfaction.

Connecting the SMART work design approach to sociotechnical design principles
While sociologists have a strong interest in the division of labour, the labour process, and sociotechnical design aspects, in relation to job and work design, psychologists stress the importance of human needs and human satisfaction. Sociologists underline strategic and organisational choices as conditional to the quality of work, whereas psychologists focus on person-environment-fit approaches. Recently, we observe a rapprochement in the field, with regard to the development of the SMART work design model; individual, team, and organisational elements are integrated into an approach that links human needs, job characteristics and organisational conditions.

How WPI approaches contribute to the advancement of work is discussed in this narrative review of the WPI literature, which intends to provide direction to future study and implementation of advanced work.

CAPS Self assessment: Aiming for Human- centricity through CAPS
In an age of digitalization, especially since the pandemic, workers have wanted more flexibility, support, and collaboration. Employers often promise to improve the worker s experience through technologies. Organisations, industries, and technologies, however, often fall short of their promises, especially when they don t put the human first. In this tension, we argue for the SEISMEC shift: industrial practices that combine advances in technology with the empowerment of workers through fair and ethical digital practices. This shift moves past an Industry 4.0 perspective one that puts technology and intensive data analytics at the forefront, and towards an Industry 5.0 perspective one that focuses on the relationship between empowering human practices and new technologies.

A Conceptual Framework for Workforce Skills for Industry 5.0: Implications for Research, Policy and Practice
Industry 5.0 is a relatively new topic and not yet well-defined. This article s purpose is to develop
understanding of Industry 5.0 by offering a new socio-centric conceptual framework. It extends prevailing
perception of Industry 5.0 by integrating workforce skills, labour shortages, and eco-digital shifts. The
study explores workforce skill measurement and its implementation.
