Researcher 7: Giorgia Zin: Reconnecting for Sustainable Work Platforms // Aalborg University

The project will investigate how to design and establish physical spaces, legal, economic, and technological services, capable of promoting the emergence of platform cooperatives in the city of Aalborg. That implies co-designing, together with the cooperative movement and marginalised social groups as unemployed graduates or migrant workers, strategies that can allow the establishment of platform cooperatives at the local level.
