WORK IS CHANGING.

THE CONVERSATION STARTS HERE.

Labour 2030 returns for its 4th edition on 16–17 September 2026, at the Super Bock Arena, Porto.

This international and forward-thinking congress brings together experts in Law, Economics, Technology, Human Resources, and Management to explore the major challenges of the future of work.

Call for Papers

Works can be presented through traditional seminars (20 minutes for each speaker) or poster presentations. The best papers will be published by Editora Almedina in a book dedicated to the Congress. They will also be published in e-book format, which is expected to become a new academic trend for the future of work.
