Conference: Future Work & Lifelong Learning

The conference, originally planned last year, but postponed due to the pandemic, will be a hybrid event focusing on the future of work and lifelong learning provisions in the context of the demographic challenges and an ageing labour force, as well as the need to adjust rapidly to the changing demands of the labour market due to the new challenges brought on by the crisis.

Representatives from local and national employment services as well as prominent researchers are invited to the conference to provide insights into current situation and solutions for a sustainable future.
