The International Conference “LISBOA ROADMAP FOR THE FUTURE OF WORK” is a partnership between Lisbon City Council, the World Economic Forum and ISEG Executive Education.

This discussion will be the kick-off for mainstreaming employment and employability challenges as the core of Lisbon’s agenda for the next years.

THE FUTURE OF WORK - FROM ANTICIPATION TO ACTION

The key challenges related to technological acceleration and transformation will be very intense in the cities. But cities are also living laboratories for experimentation with projects, solutions and commitments involving multiple actors.

The context is strong disruption and uncertainty. Our ambition? To lay the groundwork for building a Strategic Map for the Future of Work in Lisbon with the city stakeholders.

During the day, we will have a diverse set of stakeholders from the public and private sector, academia and civil society, who will reflect on the main driving forces for the future of work in Lisbon:

- The impact of technological transformation and disruption on employment, skills and employability- The challenges of education and lifelong learning- The emergence and affirmation of new activities, industries and clusters.

These are some of the key themes for reflection that will serve as bases for the exploration of Future Scenarios.
