Reshaping Work Novi Sad offers a program of keynote speakers including Mariya Gabriel, EU Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth.

BELGRADE, SERBIA, February 3, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Reshaping Work Conference South East and East European Edition, which takes place on the 27th and 28th of February 2020 in Novi Sad, Serbia, brings together leading academics, business leaders, policymakers, labor union representatives and platform workers from different parts of Europe and beyond (USA, etc.) to jointly discuss the most prominent issues of the platform economy from the regional and comparative perspectives. The conference is hosted by the independent think tank Public Policy Research Center from Belgrade, Serbia.

Reshaping Work is a non-profit initiative headquartered in Amsterdam, which took off in 2016 in order to bring different stakeholders together to jointly discuss the future of work and find ways to shape it. Since then it has grown into a series of regionally organized events across Europe.

“The Reshaping Work conference in Novi Sad stands out as a unique event as it sheds light at Ukraine, Serbia and Romania, countries representing the leading providers of online platform workers in Europe and beyond. Other countries in the region complement the observed trends”, says Branka Andjelkovic, the Conference Director and Co-Founder of the Public Policy Research Center, “As such, they deserve a close look within the context of the future of work and gig economy which yet has to be thoroughly examined and fully understood.”

Speakers at Regional Reshaping Work Novi Sad include:

• Branka Andjelkovic, Co-founder, Public Policy Research Center
• Mariya Gabriel, European Commissioner for EU Commission for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth
• Martin Risak, Associate Professor at the Department of Labor Law and Law of Social Security, University of Vienna, leading European expert in labour law and the platform economy legislation
• Ionut Lacusta, Glovo, Head of Public Policy, EEMEA & EU Affairs
• Sem Fabrizi, Ambassador and Head of Delegation of the European Union to the Republic of Serbia (TBC)

The signature session of the Reshaping Work conference – “Meet the Platform Workers” is a forum that brings together company representatives and platform workers; moderated by Joanne Gouaux, a social entrepreneur from Silicon Valley. Including platform workers in the debate about their lives and livelihoods is of crucial importance. What are their perspectives, priorities and uncertainties? What changes would they like to see with respect to how their work is organized and valued – if any? And is there a unified “they” to begin with?

Media partners include: Shareable, Diplomacy & Commerce, Nova Ekonomija and Business Info Group.
