*We are pleased to announce the launch of the Call for Abstracts for the XV ADAPT International Conference
**
(Bergamo, Italy, 26-28 November 2025)*, an important opportunity to discuss the evolving world of work with leading scholars and professionals from around the globe.
*This year’s edition will explore the concept of work, and what we call ‘non-work’* which is constantly evolving, making it difficult to define the boundaries between its many forms – formal, informal, productive, reproductive, voluntary, and free. Reality often goes beyond rigid theoretical categories, highlighting the importance of analysing the role of institutions and intermediary bodies in regulating and defining these spaces, which are essential for understanding the ongoing transformations. Thus, the Conference aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and innovative perspectives.
*We warmly invite you, researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to contribute by submitting an abstract and/or a panel proposal (deadline: 18 May 2025).*
You can find all relevant details, including research tracks, submission guidelines and deadlines, at the following links:
*Participation in the Conference is free, but registration is required
