Imagine a digital map that doesn't just show where people are, but predicts how working from home changes a whole town. It looks at how people moving out of cities and into villages affects local shops, traffic, and the environment. It's like a weather forecast, but for the future of where we live and work.
Companies and governments struggle to predict how the shift to remote work changes where people live and spend money. This leads to poor investments in office space and outdated rural infrastructure.
An Integrated Impact Assessment Framework and an interactive visualization platform for monitoring remote work trends and forecasting regional changes.
If you are a commercial property developer dealing with falling office demand in cities — this project developed a visualization platform that predicts spatial impacts of remote work for the next 5-10 years. This helps you decide where to build new residential or mixed-use hubs based on actual migration trends.
If you are a broadband provider dealing with unpredictable demand in rural areas — this project developed an assessment model that monitors remote work trends across 6 representative use-cases. You can use these insights to prioritize fiber rollout in regions where remote work growth is highest.
If you are a local government agency dealing with a shrinking tax base or urban overcrowding — this project developed an impact assessment tool that suggests policy recommendations tailored to local needs. This allows you to create environments that attract remote workers to boost the local economy.
Based on available project data, no pricing or cost information is provided as this is a research-funded initiative.
The project is designed for replication across different areas in Europe and beyond, using 6 representative use-cases to ensure the tools work in various regional settings.
Based on available project data, specific IP and licensing terms are not mentioned; it is coordinated by the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.
The tool helps local governments formulate policy recommendations to manage the urban-rural divide and create conducive environments for remote work.
The project runs from 2024-02-01 to 2027-01-31, with forecasting looking ahead 5-10 years.
The consortium is well-balanced for technology transfer, featuring a 46% industry ratio with 6 industrial partners, including 4 SMEs. This mix of 5 universities and 1 research center across 8 countries suggests that the resulting tools will be grounded in academic rigor but validated for practical business and policy application.
