Imagine if working from home wasn't just a perk, but a tool to revitalize dying small towns. This work looks at how different types of remote setups—from digital nomads to people forced to work remotely by war—change how we live and work. It's like a map for cities and companies to figure out where people actually want to be and how to make that work for everyone.
Companies and cities are struggling to adapt to the permanent shift toward remote work. They lack data on how this affects worker wellbeing and regional economic stability.
A literature review, a forecasting study with three future scenarios, and a context analysis of remote work across different territories.
If you are a developer dealing with empty city offices—this project developed a study of 15 urban and rural areas that identifies where remote workers are moving. This helps you pivot investment toward second-tier cities and rural hubs.
If you are a recruiter dealing with high-skilled talent flight—this project developed a case study on high-skilled workers in Ireland. This allows you to design better retention packages based on actual worker wellbeing data.
If you are a local government dealing with rural depopulation—this project developed a policy-oriented guide based on 7 countries. This helps you attract digital nomads to boost the local economy.
Based on available project data, no specific pricing or cost models for the results are provided as this is a research-driven policy project.
The project focuses on scaling solutions by addressing local barriers across 7 countries and 15 different areas, though it is not an industrial product.
Based on available project data, the outputs are intended as policy frameworks and awareness campaigns rather than licensed software or patents.
The project runs from 2024-02-01 to 2027-07-31, with initial forecasting and literature reviews completed in the first 15 months.
The project specifically analyzes the transformation of business models to help companies adapt their workforce organization to remote realities.
The consortium is heavily academic, with 5 universities and 3 research institutions leading the effort. However, there is a 17% industry presence consisting of 2 SMEs and other industry partners, suggesting a bridge between theoretical research and practical business application across 10 European countries.
