Remote Work Possibilities to Enhance Border Regions Labour Markets

The European Week of Regions and Cities is an annual four-day event during which cities and regions showcase their capacity to create growth and jobs, implement European Union cohesion policy, and prove the importance of the local and regional level for good European governance.

The 2023 Week takes between 9-12 October 2023 and is held in-person in Brussels. More on the #EURegionsWeek can be found here.

As in previous years, the learned societies (European Regional Science Association ERSA, Association of European Schools of Planning AESOP and the Regional Studies Association European Foundation RSA Europe) led by RSA Europe collate and develop sessions that showcase the best of new research to the largely policy audience at the #EURegionsWeek.

Our first session takes place 10th October 2023, 09.30 CEST

Remote Work Possibilities to Enhance Border Regions Labour Markets – Tuesday 10th October, 09.30-10.30 CEST

The workshop provides insights into EU border regions availability of occupations and the resulting amount of jobs that allow for remote work. It analyses country-specific legal provisions that may hinder firms to employ individuals from abroad and discusses which legal aspects have to be amended and harmonized EU wide to benefit from remote work across borders. Thus, the workshop elaborates possibilities to improve competitiveness of border region labour markets caused by remote work.
