The in-person meeting of WG3 on Integration of age-diverse workers and knowledge transfer was held at the Transport and Telecommunication Institute in Riga on May 9-10, 2024. 19 out of 44 WG3 members attended the meeting.
The first day of the meeting included an introduction by the hosts and leaders, sharing the participants’ passion research and one-on-one scholarly speed dating sessions, followed by three themed sessions. The session themes were stereotypes and prejudice in age-diverse work environments including intersectionality in the context of work and aging, intergenerational knowledge sharing and transfer, and intergenerational (and friendly) relationships in the workplace. Brainstorming discussions held after each session of presentations inspired research and project development and forward looking.
The second day included idea generation in themed groups based on sessions from day one, alongside discussions in small groups towards preparing research proposals.
We would like to thank Prof. Yulia Stukalina and her staff for the wonderful hospitality.
Collaborations that emerged from the meeting and its aftermath will be presented in an online follow up meeting to be held in September 2024. Notice of this meeting will be circulated in early August 2024.
