...to the changing dynamics of work and everything in between.

 

The network aims to help share and explore existing as well as new dimensions of the “world of work” by facilitating interactions and learning from each other’s research in a multi-disciplinary context. The network particularly welcomes contributions and involvement from postgraduate and early career researchers.
