This project, with the acronym “Remote-IT,” will study the new challenges facing cities in relation to the future of work and the new form of tourism for digital nomads.

The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the transformation of how work is organized, with hybrid and remote working models having a significant impact on citizens’ lives, as well as on the organizational culture of companies and large employers.
The Remote-IT project aims to create a diverse collaboration of cities in order to jointly study the multiple aspects of this emerging issue with hybrid and remote working models.
