3rd international wellbeing at work conference

26 - 28 May 2014, Copenhagen, Denmark

The Danish National Research Centre for the Working Environment (NRCWE) is organising the 3rd International Wellbeing at Work conference in Copenhagen from 26 to 28 May 2014.

Objectives

Promoting healthy and sustainable work-lives
Wellbeing at work is an increasingly important topic on the scientific and political agendas in many Western countries. In the scientific world the concept of wellbeing at work is typically addressed from the point of view of organisational psychology. This concept needs to widen its scope in order to meet the challenges of ageing working populations, which are increasingly characterised by chronic diseases or disabilities.

Bring together state of the art knowledge from different scientific fields
The conference aims to bring together state of the art knowledge from psychology, epidemiology, physiology, and occupational and social medicine to articulate a coherent research agenda on wellbeing at work that is able to capture the challenges at the labour market facing many Western countries.

Eurofound contribution
