Business Travel, Mobile ICTs and work-life balance: Day
Workshop and Research Network Building
FINAL CALL: A FEW REMAINING PLACES AVAILABLE (including
travel bursaries for PhD students/early career academics)
We invite you to attend this free one day research event
exploring opportunities for research on how the use of Mobile ICTs by business
travellers affects their experience of work life balance.
Date: Wednesday 13th April 2016, 10am-4pm
Location: The Wesley (central London, near Euston Station - http://www.thewesley.co.uk/).
Event Organizers: Donald Hislop (Loughborough University)
& Jon Beaverstock (University of Bristol)
The event is designed to be a forum for discussion of
research issues and agendas between academics, and a range of industry and
policy stakeholders (including train operating companies, and business travel
management firms). The event has two distinct elements. Firstly, there is a
seminar-based element involving presentations by a number of senior academics.
Secondly, there will be a networking and research generation element to
facilitate agendas for conducting future research on business travel, ICT and
work-life balance. One key aim of the event is to begin developing
collaborative approaches to research capacity building for future external
funding opportunities and stakeholder engagement.

Dr Anna Aguilera, Ecole des Ponts, Paris, France, talking
about Business travel, ICT and work-life balance: review and research agenda
Prof. James Faulconbridge, Lancaster University, talking
