The third online workshop in the series will focus on Redistributing Power and Workplace Democracy. This event will bring together specialists from diverse fields, delving into key areas such as participatory management and co-determination, the interplay of platform cooperativism and the gig economy, and the emerging field of algorithmic democracy. Approaching these topics from policy-oriented and evidence-based perspectives, this event aligns with the European Commission's goal of fostering equitable work environments. It promises an insightful dialogue on power redistribution and its role in enhancing workplace fairness and inclusivity.

Description
Real Utopias for a Social Europe consists of a series of technical debate-type workshops on various bold and innovative social policy proposals. Leading academic experts and policy-makers will come together to assess and discuss the feasibility, distributional impact, costs, and scalability of these policy proposals through evidence based on various designs such as pilots, field experiments, microsimulation exercises, and actual policy experiences. The objective is to bolster a hivemind that can provide scientifically rigorous yet creative tools to tackle growing socioeconomic inequalities in the context of major social and economic transformations ahead. This is the third Workshop of the series on Redistributing Power and Workplace Democracy.
DIGCLASS Project
The Real Utopias for a Social Europe series is organized by the DIGCLASS team within the JRC-Centre for Advanced Studies. DIGCLASS is a project born out of increasing concern in Europe about the implications of the digital revolution for social inequalities and democratic processes. The project aims to understand better how digital technologies alter the mechanisms that generate inequalities in the distribution of resources and life chances, which is crucial for social policies to respond to the challenges of the digital revolution.
