Projects

During the last years I have been involved in several research projects aimed at developing innovative tools for the labour market through the analysis of Online Job Adverstisements. With a team of computer scientists at CRISP (University of Milano-Bicocca) and of Tabulaex (now Lightcast Europe), a spin off of the University of Milano-Bicocca, we have initially developed these tools for the Italian labour market. In 2015 we have won a tender funded by the European Agency CEDEFOP, to develop a working prototype for analysing OJA in 5 European countries. We subsequently won a second and a third tender aimed at developing a Pan-European tool that analyses OJA for 28 countries in Europe in a multilanguage setting. The project, financed jointly by CEDEFOP and EUROSTAT, to developed the tool further, and transformed it into a system of information integrated with Eurostat Smart Statistics. From 2025 to 2029 I will be the project leader of a Framework Contract where Crisp and Lightcast will develop, maintain and expand Eurostat’s Web Intelligence Hub.
