FUTOURWORK Hosts Special Session at ATLAS 2026
Our paper panel and discussion at ATLAS 2026 explored the relationship between platformisation, social dialogue and worker wellbeing in tourism and hospitality.


FUTOURWORK is a Horizon Europe-funded research project dedicated to improving the representation of workers and creating more effective dialogue among employers, unions and governments. The project stands for healthy workplaces and workers’ wellbeing.

Many of the EU’s 13 million tourism and hospitality employees are from marginalised groups, at increased risk of exploitation and job insecurity. Meanwhile, digital transformation – namely the rise of platform work – is having detrimental impacts on workers, deepening existing vulnerabilities and challenges like gender inequality across the sector.
FUTOURWORK is here to investigate these issues, working towards empowering solutions and accessible tools that benefit businesses and workers alike.
Led by the University of Westminster, a diverse team of academics and advocates from nine organisations across six countries form the FUTOURWORK consortium.
With expertise spanning gender equality, labour rights, digitalisation, worker wellbeing and more, our team brings a multidisciplinary and intersectional approach to tackling the sector’s challenges.
