COSMO

Finland needs more skilled and educated individuals. Our future-oriented research helps us to understand what sustainable, inclusive and meaningful life and work means for globally mobile individuals, and provides advice on how Finland as a country could develop into a cosmoscape, i.e. a society, which makes cosmopolitan engagement possible and enables the development of cosmopolitan self. Our multidisciplinary project takes a bird's-eye view to improve the functionality of public institutions through detecting opportunities for collaboration and streamlining processes in order to better attract global talent. The legal dogmatic analysis of mobile work helps workers to understand their legal status, employers become aware of the relevant laws and lawmakers possible legal constraints for the performance of mobile work. Our research will contribute to informed political decision-making and strengthen the voice of a new type of global workforce in the future.
