DIGI-net's winter calls

The aim of the COST Action 'Work Inequalities in Later Life redefined by Digitalisation' (DIGI-net) is to overcome critical gaps in conceptual innovation on the influence of digitalisation on work inequalities in later life, in order to address the research-policy disconnect and tackle work inequalities in later life redefined by digitalisation. The Action will enhance scientific knowledge by integrating the different disciplines and schools of thought, by developing collaborations with public policy officials, international policy bodies, non-academic professionals, civil society NGOs, trade unions, management of organisations and older workers themselves.

The following 2023 winter calls are open for application.
