REMAKING - REmote-working Multiple impacts in the Age of disruptions: socioeconomic transformations, territorial rethinKING, and policy actions

_

The REMAKING project, funded by the Horizon Europe Programme, aims to study and interpret remote work not only as an organizational change, but as a true transformative force that deeply impacts individuals’ lives, business models and socio-economic and territorial structures. In a context marked by megatrends such as digitalization and the flexibilization of work, and by recent global shocks like the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine, REMAKING seeks to provide an updated and articulated overview of the multiple implications of remote work, especially in medium-sized cities and rural areas across seven European countries (Italy, Greece, Portugal, Germany, Czech Republic, Ukraine, and Ireland).

The project focuses on four different models of remote work: “forced” remote workers, digital nomads, post-pandemic workers and highly qualified workers in high-tech sectors, with the aim of thoroughly understanding the impacts on three main social dimensions: the living and working conditions of individuals, employment arrangements, work-life balance and personal identities; the organizational reconfiguration of businesses and public institutions, with particular attention to the phenomenon of platformization; and finally, the socio-economic structure and local political responses.

Coordinated by the University of Bologna, with a consortium made up of 12 European partners, REMAKING has a total budget of almost 3 million euros, of which approximately 95,500 euros are allocated to the Municipality of Bologna.

The kick-off meeting, held in Bologna in February 2024, represented a key moment to consolidate collaboration among partners, define research strategies, and initiate a shared path toward the achievement of the project’s ambitious goals.

REMAKING aims to offer policymakers a policy-oriented framework that enables a balance between the risks and opportunities of remote work, facilitating the adoption of innovative and sustainable territorial strategies and promoting mutual learning among the various countries and territories involved. In this way, the project contributes to building an advanced and dynamic understanding of remote work, fostering the socio-economic development and resilience of the targeted territories in the era of global transformations and discontinuities.
