Beyond 4.0 Summer School. Transforming workplaces through digitalisation
1 June, 2021 @ 8:00 am - 4 June, 2021 @ 1:30 pm
The Workshop will be held face-to-face and there will also be the possibility of participating live online through ZOOM. In the registration process, please select the participation of your choice: face-to-face or live online.
The Summer School’s main objective is to provide comprehensive training based on an intensive program on digitalisation and automation. The event aims to deepen our understanding of evidence-based policies with the transformative potential to shape work and welfare in the Digital Age. The activity offers a scenario to reflect the state of progress of the projects. There will be strands in areas such as the digitalisation of production, the digitalisation of work, skills, data sources, historical analysis and social policy. The Summer School is focused on sharing and discussion. Besides, the Summer School will enable PhD students to present their current research work.
The Summer School will be topic-oriented and will follow four main drivers:
- Digitalisation of work and production:
- How to study and research work and welfare in the digital age
- How to study socio-economic consequences of technological transformations
- Historical analysis and data sources:
- How to study technological transformations from a historical perspective
- What kind of data sets are useful and how to best use and connect them
- Regional responses to digitalisation:
- How to study regional contexts and ecosystems and their digital economic transformation
- Social policy and skills:
- How to study the impact of platforms on welfare, tax and inclusiveness
- How to understand future skills and roles of stakeholders
Researchers from European top-tier research and academic institutions will discuss all topics. Along with BEYOND4.0, other consortia from the H2020-programmes are participating, such as TECHNEQUALITY and PLUS. Also, other research actions, such as PARADIGMS4.0 will be present. Supporting networks are the European School of Social Innovation (ESSI) and the European Network of Workplace Innovation (EUWIN).
