Belgium
A conference on the FLEXCOT project (flexible work practices and communication technologies) will be held in Brussels on 10 December 1999.
The conference will focus on challenges to public policies and the prospects for achieving socially acceptable forms of flexible working. The key findings of the FLEXCOT project will be presented, along with contributions from guest speakers. Presentations will cover a range of issues arising with new forms of employment and work flexibility, particularly those associated with the introduction of communications technologies.
Contributions will cover flexibility in the following areas: external and internal labour markets, working time and new production rhythms, skills and competencies, employment status, and industrial relations.
The conference is intended for researchers, workers and employers organisations, policy makers and training agencies.
The FLEXCOT project was funded under the Targeted Socio-economic Research (TSER) programme of the European Union's Fourth RTD Framework Programme.
