Democratic structures for employees: AK science award excellent!

Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - On December 9, 2024, four outstanding young scientists were awarded the 2024 AK Science Award. The award ceremony, which is under the motto, that "good and fair work needs democratic structures" took place to address current challenges in the world of work.

Schöffmann examined the social security of employees: inside during their temporary posting to other EU member states. This is particularly relevant in an increasingly globalized job market.

MAG.A Dr.in Sophie Schwertner received the award for her work on the collective law and the situation of employees who do not apply as employees for economic reasons: but still need protection. Finally, Mag.A (FH) Anna in her dissertation again illuminates the core topic of how democratic conditions can be deepened and expanded in times of crisis in order to promote a fair world of work.
