💭 What is the #rebound effect in remote work? 🌿 It’s when the environmental #savings from working remotely — like reduced commuting and office #energy use — are partly or fully offset by new energy demands and behaviors 📈 Remote workers often use more energy at home, invest in extra equipment, or make more non-work trips (the “time rebound effect”) since #errands can no longer be combined with commuting. Some even move farther from cities, increasing car use 💡 The rebound effect shows that remote work doesn’t automatically mean lower #emissions. Real sustainability gains depend on how we adapt our lifestyles and energy #habits 📖 These data have been taken from the deliverable 'Report on background knowledge to inform the empirical research' made by Alma Mater Studiorum – Università di Bologna / Leibniz-Institut für Raumbezogene Sozialforschung (IRS) / Paris School of Business / CoLABOR / European Creative Hubs Network and Politecnico di Milano for #REMAKING 🔗 You can find it here: https://lnkd.in/dbMdXxeR #HorizonEU #FutureOfWork #RemoteWork #HybridWork #WorkCulture #DigitalTransformation #OrganizationalChange European Commission Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv Elhuyar Trinity College Dublin European Research Executive Agency (REA) Visionary Analytics Comune di Bologna EU Science, Research and Innovation R-Map project EU WinWin4WorkLife

❔ Why should be care about Remote Work? 💡 In this episode of how remote work affects society, where members of the #REMAKING project consortium give their views on this topic, Ivana Lukes Rybanska (Prague University of Economics and Business) and Giulio Buciuni (Trinity College Dublin) share their views on how remote work is transforming the world of work 🌍 Ivana highlights that #remotework reflects a deeper shift in work relations and business models — shaping how we’ll work and live in the #future 🏙️ Giulio notes that while many return to the #office, the five-day office week is gone. The future is #hybrid — redefining how labor and #collaboration are organized 🚀 At #REMAKING, we explore how these changes affect society and what they mean for the future of work 🔗 You can watch more #videos like this one, and all those related to the #REMAKING project, on our YouTube channel https://lnkd.in/da5UEzBy #HorizonEU #FutureOfWork #RemoteWork #HybridWork #WorkCulture #DigitalTransformation #Innovation #Leadership #OrganizationalChange #HorizonEurope #REMAKINGProject #WorkTrends #EmployeeExperience #WorkplaceInnovation #Collaboration #WorkLifeBalance European Commission Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv Elhuyar Trinity College Dublin Prague University of Economics and Business European Research Executive Agency (REA) Visionary Analytics WinWin4WorkLife Leibniz-Institut für Raumbezogene Sozialforschung (IRS) Comune di Bologna Alma Mater Studiorum – Università di Bologna EU Science, Research and Innovation European Creative Hubs Network Paris School of Business

🌍 Exploring the Future of Remote Work in Europe 🗣️ Recently, Marco R. Di Tommaso, Coordinator of the #REMAKING project, presented the ongoing #research at our sister project's R-Map project EU consortium #meeting, sharing insights into how remote work is transforming individuals, businesses, and society 💡 Key #Highlights from the Presentation: 📖 Survey & Case Studies: Over 14,000 survey responses collected across Europe, plus multiple case studies examining post-pandemic work, digital nomads, integration, and student workers 📈 Remote Work Trends: Now common for ~20% of EU employees, adoption driven by employee preference and organizational capacity 🌿 Impacts: Flexibility, urban/regional geographies, job market fragmentation, socio-economic transformation 📚 Policy Implications: Need for tools supporting social inclusion, territorial balance, environmental sustainability, innovation, and economic growth #REMAKING #RemoteWork #FutureOfWork #DigitalNomads #SocioEconomicImpact #Policy #Research #Innovation #RMAP European Commission Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv Elhuyar Trinity College Dublin Prague University of Economics and Business European Research Executive Agency (REA) Visionary Analytics WinWin4WorkLife Leibniz-Institut für Raumbezogene Sozialforschung (IRS) Comune di Bologna

🌿 Environmental Impacts of Remote Working As remote and hybrid work become the new norm, research shows that their environmental effects are mixed ✅ Positive impacts: 🔸 Less commuting = fewer #emissions, reduced #traffic, and cleaner #air 🔸 Lower office energy use and potential for greener urban planning 🔸 Supports low-carbon transitions when paired with #digital tools and behavioral changes ⚠️ Negative impacts: 🔸 Higher home energy consumption for heating, cooling, and tech. 🔸 Increased use of materials for #home offices. 🔸 “Rebound effects” — more non-work trips and potential rise in #car ownership 🔎 Takeaway: While remote working has clear potential to reduce commuting emissions and support #decarbonization, its net environmental impact remains uncertain. Increased home energy use, rebound travel, and shifting of environmental responsibilities to individuals may partially or fully offset its benefits. More comprehensive, context-specific research is needed to determine its true sustainability outcomes 📖 These data have been taken from the deliverable 'Report on background knowledge to inform the empirical research' made by Alma Mater Studiorum – Università di Bologna / Leibniz-Institut für Raumbezogene Sozialforschung (IRS) / Paris School of Business / CoLABOR / European Creative Hubs Network and Politecnico di Milano for #REMAKING 🔗 You can find it here: https://lnkd.in/dbMdXxeR #HorizonEU #RemoteWork #FutureOfWork #HybridWork #WorkFromHome #DigitalNomad #FlexibleWork #Sustainability #RemoteWork #GreenEconomy #ClimateAction European Commission Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv Elhuyar Trinity College Dublin Prague University of Economics and Business European Research Executive Agency (REA) Visionary Analytics R-Map project EU WinWin4WorkLife Leibniz-Institut für Raumbezogene Sozialforschung (IRS) Comune di Bologna

📢 Conceptualising Remote Work in a Post-Pandemic #Europe 📅 Prior to #COVID19, remote working arrangements (#RWAs) were largely concentrated in Northern Europe and high-tech sectors, with participation exceeding 25% only in specific contexts. In contrast, 15 of the 27 EU Member States recorded rates below 10%. The pandemic reshaped this landscape: 39% of EU employees transitioned to working from home, with significant national variation (18% in #Romania vs. 59% in #Finland) 🔎 Notable shifts include: 🔹 A #gender inversion: women became more likely than men to adopt remote work (41% vs. 37%), reversing pre-pandemic trends 🔹 Strong uptake among younger employees, suggesting a levelling of status-related access 🔹 Persistence of structural divides: higher education levels and urban/suburban residence remain key determinants of remote work participation 🌍 Global disruptive #shocks (COVID-19, the war in #Ukraine), combined with long-term #megatrends (digitalisation, flexible production models), have accelerated the diffusion of remote work, with wide-ranging implications Opportunities: ✔ Enhanced worker autonomy and potential improvements in wellbeing ✔ Environmental gains via reduced commuting ✔ Potential for retaining talent in peripheral and rural areas, with positive spillovers for local development Risks: ⚠ Intensification of an “always-on” culture, with negative effects on mental health and work-life balance ⚠ Risk of reinforcing gender inequalities in unpaid care work. ⚠ Spatial and social inequalities, including urban–rural divides and housing market pressures ⚠ Unclear impacts on rural entrepreneurs, freelancers, and second-tier cities 💡 The #REMAKING project investigates these dynamics to better understand how #institutions, #businesses, #civilsociety, and #individuals can mitigate risks and maximise opportunities. The ultimate goal: to frame remote work not only as a labour market trend but as a lever for sustainable, inclusive socio-economic development #HorizonEU #consortium #teamwork #remote #work #digitalnomad #shock European Commission Alma Mater Studiorum – Università di Bologna CoLABOR Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv Elhuyar Trinity College Dublin Prague University of Economics and Business European Creative Hubs Network Politecnico di Milano European Research Executive Agency (REA) Visionary Analytics Paris School of Business R-Map project EU WinWin4WorkLife
