Labour and Welfare in a European Knowledge-based Society

 

The LAW project is funded by the European Commission’s Information Society Technologies (IST) Programme to look at the implications for welfare systems in Europe of the restructuring of labour markets, taking place in the transition to a knowledge-based economy.

The results of this research will be launched at an international conference “ICTs, Social Inclusion and Welfare in Europe: showcasing good practice”, to be held in Rome, at the Congress Centre “Centro Congressi Conte di Cavour”, on 4 – 5 November 2005.  The conference is free but places are limited so please register early to assure a place.
