Throughout the event, participants will have the opportunity to:

• Explore emerging trends and impacts of remote work, drawing on research into working and living conditions, seven European case studies and findings from a large-scale survey of 20,013 participants.
• Discover the R-MAP Model, examining how modelling approaches and empirical evidence can help assess the regional implications of remote working arrangements and the urban–rural divide.
• Experience the R-MAP Platform, through a live demonstration of its functionalities and potential to support evidence-informed decision-making.
• Learn from six European regional use cases, highlighting diverse territorial challenges, opportunities and potential policy responses.
• Engage in policy dialogue, exploring how research evidence and regional perspectives can inform future strategies for more inclusive and sustainable metropolitan and regional development.

The programme will also feature keynote contributions, interactive discussions and networking opportunities, bringing together experts and stakeholders to reflect on the project’s achievements and explore pathways for translating research into meaningful policy action.

Whether you are a policymaker, researcher, urban planner, employer or simply interested in the future of remote work, the R-Map Final Event offers an opportunity to exchange knowledge, connect with experts and contribute to discussions shaping Europe’s regions.
