The events organized within the WORK-AGE-JUST serve as platforms for disseminating research findings and fostering discussions among scholars, researchers, and practitioners engaged in related fields. Ranging from academic conferences to semi-academic workshops and roundtable discussions, these events aim to bridge disciplinary perspectives, encourage knowledge exchange, and stimulate critical engagement with the project’s core themes.
Through workshops, public discussions, and roundtables, the project actively promotes an inclusive and participatory research culture. By facilitating conversations across geographical and disciplinary boundaries, it aims to create lasting collaborations and encourage the development of new research agendas in the field.

The ensuing discussion, divided into two sections dedicated to (i) institutions of social partnership and social justice and (ii) workers and labour rights, emphasized issues relating to the reinforcement of actors’ role in social dialogue and partnership, the challenges of trade unions in the 21st century, the representation of citizens and their ideas of social justice, etc.
