Summer School co-organized by the COST Action CA18214

The 5th edition of the Summer School on Workplace Management is co-organized by the COST Action CA18214 will be held in Milan Italy. Application deadline May 22, 2022

 

By referring to the ‘COST Action CA18214’, in which lecturers and organizers are involved, and by presenting outcomes of the CA18214, the participants of the summer school will get a comprehensive overview of the current knowledge on the new working spaces such as coworking spaces and new trends in the local and international contexts. The nature of work has been evolving recently, along with the way working spaces are used. This dynamic has major implications for working space design, management and location that need to respond to new challenges.

This course will assist students, practitioners and researchers to engage with these ongoing evolutions. Participants will learn to:


▪ Integrate different disciplines in a sound reasoning around the
workplace, with a focus on coworking spaces;
▪ Manage the planning, programming, and executing phases of a
workplace change process;
▪ Manage planning and policy tools in fostering coworking space
diffusion;
▪ Picture the future evolution of workplaces and its impact at the
building and local scale, both in core and peripheral areas.

COST members will mainly teach and supervise students from July 4 to 9. Other COST members will participate to the whole summer school from  June 27 to July 15, 2022.

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).
