PLUS project was presented in the context of the IV conference of SISEC (Italian Society of Economic Sociology).

PLUS associates Federico Chicchi (Unibo), Emanuele Leonardi (CES) and Marco Marrone (Unibo) convened a 3-panel session titled “The Digital Factory: Platform Economy and Digital Labor between the Dissolution of the Wage-Institution and New Conventions”.

The first panel was entirely composed by PLUS associates: Giorgio Pirina (CES) discussed the Uber Law in Lisbon, Stefania Animento (Leuphana Uni) provided insights on the Airbnb-effect in Berlin and Maurilio Pirone (Unibo) reflected on the new forms of unionism emerging in Bologna.

The second and third panel were devoted to critical analysis of contemporary platform-based processes of valorization.
