Description: The project will be covering the following main areas of research and development:

• The Future of Work - to prepare workers for the fifth industrial revolution – promoting an increased emphasis on a human-centric, sustainable and resilient industrial base, emphasizing the digital and green transitions. A key pillar of this economic transformation is the role played by Advanced Manufacturing systems such as Robotics, 3D & 4D printing, artificial intelligence and high-performance computing. To address Industry 5.0, 'learning centric approaches' that focus on the holistic competences of humans that plan, manage, oversee or operate technologies will be developed.

• The Green Economy - to coordinate the response to the defining threat of our time. Climate change is causing challenges and security risks related to food, water, health, energy and bio-economics, among others. The concept of human security will be promoted and incorporated into developing the multidisciplinary mission based RDI activities in focus areas including Water Safety, Food Business, Wellbeing Technology, Engineering and Energy Technology and Bio- and Circular Economy.

• The Healthy Living - will harness knowledge sharing to lower the burden of non-communicable diseases on our societies. e-health can provide structures and platforms that allow society to improve the possibilities of citizens to become self-supporting in their health- and disease-management issues. Technologies such as biosensors and artificial intelligence technologies need to be coupled with in-depth cultural studies and contextual implementation of practices. Healthy living also links closely to the future of work and green economy by promoting better work-life balance, and impacts of ecology on human health.

The selected candidate shall be responsible for assisting in the execution of project deliverables (covering issues related to Dual Education, Future of Work, Green Economy, and Healthy Living).
