This research conference, organised by Cedefop and Eurostat, showcased innovative methods and approaches for analysing and interpreting web-based data sources in the context of occupational, sectoral, and thematic labour market and skills analysis.
Building on the success of the 2025 research conference ‘Using data from the web to shape next-generation labour market and skills analysis’ organised in cooperation with Eurostat's Web Intelligence Hub, Cedefop and Eurostat organised the 2026 follow-up event –including a new call for abstracts– which took place on 28-29 May 2026 in Thessaloniki.
The insights and findings shared during the event enhanced our understanding of how web data can be leveraged for labour market and skills intelligence, helping to shape the future of research in this evolving field. As with the previous edition, the conference provided a valuable platform for community building, fostering new collaborations, knowledge exchange and idea generation, while strengthening networks among experts committed to advancing labour market monitoring and skills foresight.
