The ‘virtual café’, organised by the EU-funded project WinWin4WorkLife, will present new European survey evidence on the relocation intentions of teleworkers, including moves to rural areas and return migration.
The session will invite experts and participants to challenge assumptions and explore what remote work can and cannot do for shrinking regions.
It will discuss whether remote work can still drive rural revival and for whom; which work and non-work conditions are needed, from digital connectivity and co-working spaces to mobility, services and cross-border arrangements; who should finance these conditions; and how to avoid housing pressures and new social divides between local residents and newcomers (e.g. digital nomads), while building long-term territorial resilience.
WinWin4WorkLife is a project funded under Horizon Europe which explores how remote work is reshaping our world through five case study sites in Europe.
