Globalisation and technological change have transformed where people
work, when and how. Digitisation of information has altered labour
processes out of all recognition whilst telecommunications have
enabled jobs to be relocated globally. But ICTs have also enabled the
creation of entirely new types of ‘digital’ or ‘virtual’ labour, both
paid and unpaid, shifting the borderline between ‘play’ and ‘work’ and
creating new types of unpaid labour connected with the consumption and
co-creation of goods and services.  The implications of this are
far-reaching, both for policy and for scholarship. The dynamics of
these changes cannot be captured adequately within the framework of
any single academic discipline. On the contrary, they can only be
understood in the light of a combination of insights from fields
including political economy, the sociology of work, organisational
theory, economic geography, development studies, industrial relations,
comparative social policy, communications studies, technology policy
and gender studies

COST Action IS1202 brings together an international network of leading
experts from 30 European Countries with researchers from other parts
of the world to develop a multi-faceted approach to understanding
these phenomena. This international conference will open up an
interactive dialogue between scholars both inside and outside the
network and will include both theoretical and empirical work. Themes
include:

The new international division of labour

Changes in skills and occupational identities in the digital economy

Value creation in the Internet Age

Policy implications of virtual work.
