Dear all,
INET is organizing a series of webinars around different issues regarding the Future of Work featuring world-leading economists. Tomorrow there will be the second episode of this series, you can register for the event here: https://www.ineteconomics.org/events/the-future-of-work-what-is-technology-accelerator-enabler-or-displacer
Right after the main sessions, YSI is hosting engaging discussion sessions to spur further debate around the future of work, raising the main points discussed in the previous sessions and introducing more questions. Besides, the idea is to provide a starting point for future collaboration amongst all interested participants and future YSI projects. Early career scholars and/or professionals will serve as discussants of the main session to briefly present their thoughts and open up the floor for debate among the scholars.
You can register for the next follow-up discussion here: https://ysi.wisdmlabs.net/project/5f64ce7b689c756fb5eaee27/event/5f661902689c756fb5eb5bac
We strongly encourage you to share questions you have on the future of work by submitting them into this form (https://fs8.formsite.com/CNZLjX/w8x2azym8g/index.html).
We'll be discussing your questions during the follow-up sessions.
