Fair and inclusive twin transitions for a stronger social Europe

Project description

Anticipating inequality, designing solutions

Europe’s twin transition to a green and digital economy promises progress, but not all social groups benefit equally. Without careful planning, policies risk deepening inequalities and leaving some communities behind. In this context, the EU-funded FITTER-EU project aims to address this challenge by creating a dynamic, interactive ecosystem for anticipatory governance. At its core is a gamified digital platform powered by an intelligent predictive decision-support system, allowing policymakers to simulate the effects of transition policies. The platform identifies at-risk groups, predicts potential inequalities, and suggests mitigation measures and best practices. Developed through co-creation with stakeholders across Europe, including policymakers, civil society, and businesses, FITTER-EU provides tools for fairer, more inclusive decision-making, ensuring that Europe’s green and digital future leaves no one behind.

Objective

FITTER-EU (FITTER) aims to contribute to existing research on the origins, dynamics and determinants of inequalities and enable anticipatory governance to support a fair and inclusive twin transition in Europe. The project innovates by the formulation and development of an ecosystem (FITTER ecosystem) that pivotally includes a highly interactive and gamified Digital Platform powered by an Intelligent Predictive Decision Support System. Through a co-creation methodological approach, this ecosystem will enable policymakers to predict which social groups may be at risk of being adversely affected by twin transition policies under different scenarios, with the option to simulate the implementation of these policies to assess inequalities and social exclusion risks. The Digital Platform within the ecosystem will provide proposed mitigation measures and better practice guides that can be used to curve potential negative effects of policies on identified at-risk groups. The FITTER ecosystem also incorporates wider platform connectivity capability and better practice guides which, through a foresight engagement process, will help to meet the needs of the engaging FITTER Cluster Community Group of Stakeholders (CCGS). The CCGS includes key pan-European members such as policymakers, civil society organisations including trade unions, as well as business angels among other targets.
