The knowledge-sharing event held in mid-April in Laubusch marked the halfway point of the ‘PerspektiveArbeit Lausitz’ (PAL) labour market research project. During the event, guests from businesses, colleges, universities and networks came together to discuss the digital transformation of the world of work in companies across the Lausitz region.

Guests were given an insight into the PAL project’s current practical initiatives and had the opportunity to network with project partners. The Living Labs already established at universities were also presented; these provide a space where companies can examine real-world examples and seek advice on the use of data-driven assistance systems.

‘PAL on Tour’ made its debut during the event. It is a bus that takes the PAL project offerings directly to interested companies and partners. “PAL on Tour” can combine a wide range of mobile offerings, from workshops on the participatory implementation of data-driven assistance systems or agile working methods to a travelling exhibition. Further information on “PAL on Tour” is available via the following link: https://pal.webspace.tu-dresden.de/pal-on-tour/

A key topic was corporate data sovereignty, with the use of a company’s own data playing an important role in the development of digital solutions. It was emphasised that companies can either retain responsibility for the development and maintenance of digital applications in-house or outsource it. Furthermore, the need for careful documentation during the development process was highlighted, in order to enable subsequent modifications to the tool.

Overall, the knowledge-transfer event was a successful step towards digital development in Lusatian businesses, with networking and the exchange of ideas between those involved being seen as particularly valuable. The event highlighted that the future of the world of work will be shaped by close cooperation between businesses, research institutions and public administration.
