Welcome to the Centre for Transformative Regulation of Work (CENTROW)
This Centre focuses on a question presenting fundamental challenges for labour and social security law internationally: the ‘fourth industrial revolution’ (platform work, artificial intelligence, automation, robotification) and its impact.
Our web channel highlights our engagement with these challenges, and provides visitors with news, blogs, listings of our publications, and external resources.
