Dear TURC List Members,
Please find below a reminder about our forthcoming conference on citizenship at 
work. We're expecting a big turnout of researchers, educators, trade unionists, 
NGOs and other labour market actors. The aim is to provide a space for an 
ongoing conversation and an agenda, in both English and French, for making 
better workplaces.
If you cannot be part of this conversation in Montreal in May, later this year 
we will be making most of the sessions available in the Media Library on the 
CRIMT Website.
Please check out the impressive range of contributions and the research that 
people are doing on citizenship at work through the following Weblink to the 
program: <http://www.crimt.org/NFCW2014.html>
If you are thinking of participating, please register now as we are likely to 
hit maximum capacity before the conference.
Apologies for cross-posting.

CRIMT Director, School of Industrial Relations, Université de Montréal


REMINDER - CRIMT INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
12-14 May 2014, Montreal
New Frontiers for Citizenship at Work
The Interuniversity Research Centre on Globalization and Work (CRIMT) invites 
you to participate in its forthcoming international conference on New Frontiers 
for Citizenship at Work. Spanning a broad range of subjects related to the 
understanding and the promotion of citizenship at work, this conference 
includes five plenary sessions and more than sixty workshops and forums (more 
than half of which will offer simultaneous French-English translation).

The conference entails two complementary activities: 1) The Community Forum 
(Tuesday May 13th); and 2) The Research Days (Monday May 12th and Wednesday May 
14th).

The Community Forum is specifically designed for actors and practitioners from 
the world of work. The program, which is now available, aims to encourage a 
dialogue between research, policy and practitioner communities. More than 90 
participants in fourteen forums and three plenary sessions will share their 
responses to a range of issues facing actors in the world of work and debate 
the practices, policies and institutions most likely to meet the challenges for 
labour law, for dealing with social risk and for promoting both organizational 
efficiency and employee well-being.

The Research Days will bring together more than 250 leading researchers from 
more than 25 countries to discuss their most recent research results on 
transformations in the world of work. The entire three days of the conference 
are likely to provide a unique learning opportunity and a fruitful dialogue 
between researchers and practitioners concerned with improving the quality and 
relevance of research and with providing tools to improve the world of work.

We invite you to register for the entire three days or just for the Community 
Forum (Tuesday May 13th). All activities will take place at HEC Montreal.

You can find the detailed program, registration details and other information 
on the conference website: <http://www.crimt.org/NFCW2014.html>.

We suggest that you register now if you plan to attend. Please note that we are 
likely to reach the maximum number of places and that planning for the lunches 
included with the registration requires advance registration. We really look 
forward to seeing you in Montreal at what we think will be an amazing three 
days!
