A new webinar on 'Collaborative Spaces and supporting policies in times of pandemic. What are practical measures for policy makers post-Covid19 to help build innovative solutions with collaborative spaces?' (in collaboration with CA18214 and RGCS) will be held on October 6 from 2 to 4.00 p.m. CET. Live on https://www.facebook.com/COSTActionCA18214NeW.Sp
Dr. Bastian Lange (University of Leipzig, Germany), MC Member and RGCS group member, will moderate the discussion.
 

Context
In post-Covid-19 times, there are a range of policy actions which can be implemented to mitigate the economic and social impact effects of the virus. Co-Design, co-operative and integrative measures can be seen as a combination of policy responses to tackle specific circumstances.
Together they form an array of site- and sector-specific instruments which can underpin inclusive growth enabling individuals and communities to prosper. The measures can be considered as part of a systems approach to sustainable economic development. They will help underpin strategy for policy makers to focus on their objectives.

New Working Spaces

The COST Action CA18214 'The geography of New Working Spaces and the impact on the periphery' focuses on i) sharing the scientific outcomes on new working spaces (definitions, typologies and geographical distributions) ii) comparing the best practices and direct and indirect impacts with a particular focus on the periphery iii) sharing the policy tools across the countries.

The CA18214 provides a interdisciplinary perspective on New Working Spaces which are classified as follows: i) collaborative and creative working spaces (coworking spacesand smart work centres); (ii) makerspaces and other technical spaces (fablabs, open workshops); (iii) other new working spaces (hackerspaces, Living Lab and corporate labs); (iv) informal new working spaces (coffee shops and libraries).
