About Svenska Handelshögskolan
EMANAIRE is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Network bringing together 15 doctoral candidates at nine European universities to study how AI is changing work. Its projects examine what happens when generative and agentic AI enters leadership, everyday workflows, team communication, professional learning and career decisions. Across the network, human agency means the practical ability to understand AI-supported decisions, exercise judgement, question outputs and shape how work is organised. Each researcher joins an international cohort, receives supervision across institutions and takes part in three residential schools, methods workshops, monthly research seminars and joint work with organisations beyond academia. Every project includes extensive engagement with industrial partner (e.g. in terms of data collection and development of practice). The doctoral project As AI becomes embedded in everyday work, employees increasingly interact with AI agents, but also encounter AI-mediated contributions from colleagues. Messages may be written, filtered or delivered with AI, while autonomous agents increasingly participate in work processes
