Scholars from different disciplines (political science, sociology, economics) will give lectures on different sub-topics to feeding the reflection on four lines:

  1. a) The key traits of the 4IR and its major challenges.

  3. c) The politics of technological innovation.
  4. d) Industrial relations systems and the 4IR.
