Eurofound, Cedefop, the European Training Foundation (ETF) and the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA) are organising a Tripartite Exchange Seminar on digital and (AI) AI refers to systems that display intelligent behaviour by analysing their environment and taking actions – with some degree of autonomy – to achieve specific goals. AI-based systems can be purely software-based, acting in the virtual world (e.g. voice assistants, image analysis software, search engines, speech and face recognition systems) or AI can be embedded in hardware devices (e.g. advanced robots, autonomous cars, drones or Internet of things applications). and the role of social dialogue. It is aimed at strengthening the capacity of social partners and governments to engage and act effectively in social dialogue.

With this call, the four EU Agencies invite professionals working in national, subnational-level social partner and government organisations to apply to participate in the 2026 seminar.
