Dear ETF Open Space community,



I'm pleased to inform you that the 2024 edition of the International Conference promoted by ADAPT, What do workers want, today? An Interdisciplinary Reflection on Representation, Industrial Relations and Labour Law, will take place from 4 to 6 December 2024 in Bergamo (Italy). 

On behalf of the International School of Higher Education in Labour and Industrial Relations I invite you to provide contributions on workers’ current needs, the collective dimension of work, and the relevant factors enhancing people’s work, fostering personal fulfilment and professional identity, and creating sustainable and inclusive labour markets. A comparative and interdisciplinary approach will be taken, given the different aspects examined in this conference. The following research tracks will be considered (in bold you can immediately identify those that are probably most interesting to this Community): 

  • Track 1. What do workers want from labour law?
  • Track 2. Artificial Intelligence (AI): moving beyond technological unemployment to address job quality
  • Track 3. Trade unions and employers’ associations promoting education and training: decline or revival? 
  • Track 4. The evolution of worker representation in the context of twin transitions: is there any room for direct forms of worker participation?
  • Track 5. Workers and industrial relations against the background of the socio-ecological transition
  • Track 6. Lifelong learning as a key to workers’ empowerment
  • Track 7. Representation, communication and languages: collective interests and disintermediation in the age of social media
  • Track 8. Workers' interests and collective bargaining: wage issues and social (in)security
  • Track 9. Equality of opportunity in the labour market and the role of social dialogue
  • Track 10. Local dynamics for competitive, inclusive and sustainable labour markets

Abstracts must be submitted by 31 May 2024 through the Abstract Submission Portal, which also contains the submission instructions, while the full version of accepted papers should be sent by 31 October 2024. They will be considered for publication in Diritto delle Relazioni Industriali, E-Journal of International and Comparative Labour Studies, Professionalità studi and Revista Internacional y Comparada de Relaciones Laborales y Derecho del Empleo, or in a special issue of ADAPT Labour Studies Book-series (Cambridge Scholars Publishing). Editors will also consider for publication the papers by those who are unable to attend the Conference but are willing to provide their contribution just the same.

Participation in the conference is free, but registration is required.
