e- ResLab Aegean is an online Observatory for Labour Market trends and employment Resilience in the regions of the EU-27. It contains a range of crucial data and indices at the regional and national levels, covering the issues of labour flexibilization and precarization, sectoral trends, work-related skills, and youth employment. Data cover the entire period from the onset of the 2008/2009 Global Crisis up to the current context of multiple crises (including energy, geopolitical, health, and others).

The e-ResLab Aegean Observatory offers a range of interactive tools and open data features, including the following:

• A WebGIS Dashboard that monitors employment trends at the regional level through maps and other visuals.
• A Data & Graphs tool that visualizes employment statistics at the regional and national levels through baseline graphs.
• A Data Web Interface that allows easy access to and download of all data.
• A Spatial Disaggregation tool that produces augmented—from the NUTS 2 to the NUTS 3 level—data and visualizes them (at the moment available only for Greece).
• Reports and story maps that comment on contemporary labour market trends and phenomena.

The e-ResLab Aegean Observatory aims at supporting scholars, researchers, practitioners, journalists, policymakers, and any other citizen interested in the spatiality of regional restructuring and employment change in an era of multiple crises. Its vision is to support inclusive regional development and radical labour agency for fairer labour markets.

e- ResLab Aegean implements a medium-term development plan that combines expert research with innovative tools, which are developed in an environment of high-quality infrastructure in terms of equipment, software, and premises.

The team of young scholars, senior researchers, and IT/GIS specialists behind the Observatory adheres to the principles of Open Research, sharing their methodologies, allowing open access to data (when possible), communicating results responsibly, and ensuring the sustainability of infrastructure.

The team is open to interdisciplinary collaborations with those interested in using the Observatory’s data and/or in the frame of Research Projects.
