Zangador Research Institute participated in the regular FUTOURWORK consortium meeting in Lisbon, hosted by Universidade Lusófona – Centro Universitário Lisboa. The gathering brought project partners together to discuss progress and coordinate ongoing work to strengthen social dialogue and improve the wellbeing of tourism and hospitality workers across Europe.

Discussions focused on research into worker wellbeing and stakeholder engagement across the six partner countries. The meeting provided an opportunity to exchange insights, review ongoing activities, and align efforts as the project’s implementation progresses.

Funded by Horizon Europe, FUTOURWORK examines working conditions, worker representation, and the implications of digital transformation in tourism and hospitality. The project aims to support more effective dialogue among employers, trade unions, and governments and develop accessible tools that benefit both workers and businesses.

Alongside the working sessions, participants explored Lisbon’s cultural and culinary heritage, including a visit to Casa do Alentejo. These shared experiences offered further opportunities for informal exchange and strengthened connections among consortium members.
