The path towards a fair, digital and inclusive European Union that leaves no one behind is long and not always smooth. The European Commission’s new podcast “Just Europe” takes a closer look at this issue, brining an open and honest conversations about how research, innovation, and evidence-based policymaking are helping people benefit from the opportunities of this transformation. This can result in education and training opportunities, managing change together, or regenerating disadvantaged communities and regions.

The podcast gathers researchers, policymakers, and civil society actors to discuss on a range of issues related to employment, skills, social affairs, and just transition. The series is also looking to identify new ideas to support people and strengthen the EU social model.

The first episode examines the challenge for policymakers at all levels when addressing European citizens’ concerns that they and their communities may not benefit from economic, social and technological change.
