The conference we organised in September / October went way above all expectations: 34 presentations were held in person, 86 presenters from 22 countries took part, with 84 online and offline simultaneous attendees at the peak.
The online and offline audience was attracted by the presented papers based on the project deliverable brought by the Beyonders: Prof. Chris Warhurst, Dr. Michael Kohlgrüber, Dr. Vassil Kirov, Prof. Steven Dhondt, Dr. Peter Oeij, Chiara Natalie Focacci, Silvia Napolitano, Imad El Hamma, Prof. Nathalie Greenan and Dr. Paul Preenen.
Dr. Peter Oeij and Prof. Frank Pot ( Radboud University) were the moderators of Work Innovation sessions held within the conference schedule. The three sessions were crowded by presenters. Prof. Paul Osterman, also a keynote speaker, took part in the discussion.
The technology creates employment is the main takeaway from the conference and we would like to thank to the keynote speakers: Prof. Mariana Mazzucato, Prof. Chris Warhurst, Prof. Paul Osterman, Prof. Olli Kangas, Prof. Jurgen Howaldt and Dr. Glenda Quintiny.
Extremely important for the event was the support of The European Workplace Innovation Network (EUWIN) and the European School for Social Innovation (ESSI), presented onsite by the always cheerful Dr. Antonius Schröder.
The conference proceedings will be available as a book in the upcoming couple of months.
