DataLABOR provides national and international data on work, employment and social protection. It was born out of a collaborative laboratory, CoLABOR, which brings together higher education, three of the country's largest employers and the social sector. It will contribute to the formulation of public policies, such as the response to the pandemic caused by COVID-19, and at the same time provide companies, trade unions, business organizations and the third sector with the information they need to manage, make decisions and formulate strategies.

On June 22, a discussion took place on the challenges and opportunities for research and development offered by the hydrogen economy. CoLABOR was asked to comment on its impact on work and employment.

The “Skills 4 post-COVID-19 for Science and Higher Education” initiative promoted by the Collaborative Laboratory for Work, Employment and Social Protection (CoLABOR), in cooperation with the Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education, took place in the past July 3rd.
