The 15th edition of the annual Workshop on Labour Economics (WLE) was again a great success, bringing together nearly 50 researchers from across Europe for lively and stimulating discussions on a wide range of topics. After two years in which the workshop was held only online due to the pandemic, it was very gratifying to finally see all participants come together again on site at the IAAEU in Trier.
The workshop covered fascinating topics such as personnel and labour economics, industrial relations, the future of work, and worker well-being. Participants were able to exchange ideas and network with colleagues in a pleasant working atmosphere during the sessions, as well as during the various breaks. Everyone also enjoyed the workshop's social events, which included a tasting of regional wines in the historic cellars of a renowned Trier winery and a conference dinner.
The workshop's lively and dynamic atmosphere created the perfect environment for engaging discussions and fruitful collaborations. The workshop also provided an opportunity for five junior researchers from IAAEU to present their latest research and receive valuable feedback from the other attendees; being grateful for the chance to engage with and learn from their peers.
Overall, the 15th edition of the WLE was a truly memorable experience, providing a much-needed opportunity for researchers to once again connect and collaborate in-person after two years of online workshops. The organizers are already looking forward to next year's edition, where they hope to build on the success of this year's event! Impressions of the workshop
