On 4 December 2024, UNU-MERIT will host a full-day workshop on 'Innovations and demographic change'. The topic is understood broadly, and issues dealing with structural change and inequality, population, labour, health, conflict, migration, development are welcome. The core interest is to offer the research communities at UNU-MERIT, Maastricht University and the Global Labor Organization (GLO, in particular those based in the Netherlands) a platform to connect. While presentations at the event are all in-person, it will be possible for interested members of the public to attend online or to watch the video recording afterwards.

Background / vision statement of this workshop
The ongoing substantial demographic (aging, immigration), environmental (global warming), and technological changes (robots, artificial intelligence) require intelligent and responsive technical and social innovations to adjust flexibly to challenges and opportunities. UNU-MERIT and GLO researchers provide talent and ambitions to contribute to the solutions. To foster the discussion, the workshop deals with robots, emerging technologies, the gig economy, Ukraine, and refugee and labor migration challenges.
