Welcome to SMARTLABOR

Welcome to the open resource platform of the project “SMARTLABOR – Strengthening Alliances for Policy Development and Testing in the Domain of Innovation, Digitalization, and the Labour Market in the Western Balkans.”

We aim to promote SMART growth in the Western Balkans! Our project focuses on enabling the efficient adoption of technological advancements and driving progress in the agri-food sector by supporting evidence-based policy-making and leveraging CSO capacities.

Feel free to use and replicate our databases, methodological and capacity-building tools, research findings, and policy products.
