Post-work futures in the EU and beyond:
Grounding digital transformation in lived experience

29 September 2026  I  13:00 - 16:30
Permanent Representation of Slovenia to the EU
Rue Joseph II 14, 1000 Brussels

The Slovenian Business and Research Association (SBRA), the Lithuanian Science and Innovation Liaison and Competence Office (LINO) and Applied Anthropology Network (AAN) are pleased to invite you to an interactive event addressing a pivotal question for our shared future: what happens when work - traditionally the central source of our identity, sense of meaning, and belonging - is fundamentally transformed by automation, robotisation, and AI?

Bringing together participants from the EU policy bubble, practising social scientists, and citizens, this collaborative gathering draws on anthropology-based research, EU policy insights, and citizen experiences to explore how communities navigate increasing job uncertainty.

Attendees will gain fresh insights into building people-centred support models for a changing labour market in the context of digital transformation, while witnessing firsthand the invaluable role of applied anthropology in shaping European policies.

The programme is available here.
