We are pleased to welcome you to our third annual user conference, a lunch-to-lunch event in Stockholm on 7–8 September. This year we will focus on the future of the labour market, with particular emphasis on precarity, labour market change, and a sustainable working life.
The conference will bring together researchers and representatives from public agencies to discuss new developments in survey- and register-based research and their relevance for understanding the changing world of work. It offers opportunities to attend presentations by leading researchers, present a poster, and network with colleagues in the field.
Below is the conference programme, practical information, and a link to the registration page. Registration is open until 26 June 2026.
