IFOW has joined the Digital Futures at Work Research Centre as a new partner for 2024. We will be working to support their policy engagement activities over the final year of their current five-year research programme.
The Digital Futures at Work Research Centre (Digit) studies the way that digital technologies are reshaping work and the impact on employers, workers and their representatives, job seekers and governments. Their research aims to generate new knowledge about the benefits, opportunities, risks and challenges of these changes that is theoretically informed, empirically evidenced and policy-relevant.
Jacqueline O’Reilly, Digit’s Co-Director, said, “We are delighted to collaborate with the Institute for the Future of Work to support our ongoing programme of knowledge exchange. We share a commitment to providing policymakers navigating the digital transformation of work with a robust, timely and wide-ranging evidence base.”
Anna Thomas, IFOW Co-Founder and Co-Director, said, “We are looking forward to collaborating more closely with Digit. In our work at the intersections of governance, civil society and industry, it has never been more important to ensure that policymaking benefits from cutting-edge research into how digital technologies are reshaping work.”
