Dear all,
I hope you are doing well and staying safe. In the upcoming months, INET will be organizing a series of webinars around different issues regarding the Future of Work featuring world-leading economists. You can find more information here: https://www.ineteconomics.org/events/the-future-of-work-whats-at-stake
Directly after the conclusion of the main sessions, YSI will be hosting engaging discussion sessions which aim to spur further conversation around the future of work, debate the questions raised, and plant the seeds for further collaboration amongst all interested participants. The sessions will kicked off with a quick recap of points raised in the main session and last will 45 minutes. Please find the event and more information here: https://ysi.ineteconomics.org/project/5f64ce7b689c756fb5eaee27/event/5f64f02f689c756fb5eb02dc
The follow-up sessions are open to anyone interested in further conversation and exploration of the themes the main session touched upon, so please feel free to join! The sessions will be moderated by members of the Young Scholars Initiative. Early career scholars and/or professionals will serve as discussants of the main session to briefly prepare for fruitful discussion in which each participant can equally engage. Anyone interested in developing deeper engagement and projects is especially encouraged to join.
