t-world  2001 
- academic workshop in connection with Telework 2001

Academic track in connection with "e -work 2001. The 8th European Assembly
on New Ways to Work". See closer
http://www.telework2001.fi/programme.html

The purpose of the academic workshop is to give academically-oriented people
the possibility of participating in the 8th European Assembly on New Ways to
Work, and to build an academic subforum for discussion at the conference.
This will be achieved thanks to 
 An opportunity to make a contribution in the form of a scientific
paper
 A lower conference fee (300 ?), which also includes access to the
full assembly and all hospitality events.  This lower price is just reserved
for authors of accepted papers.

The specific theme of t-world 2001 conference is 

"Building social and intellectual capital in (e)working relationships"  

Both theoretical and empirical research papers on - but not restricted to -
the following topics will be welcomed:
 Trust, emotional intelligence and other "soft" forms of (social)
capital and their importance for successful e -work
 The building social and intellectual capital in virtual
organisations
 Different forms of social and intellectual capital in the
organisational context
 Implementation of trust-based strategies and structures in the
organisational context
 Availability and functions of intellectual and social capital in
organisations
 Implications of research on social and intellectual capital for e
-work and virtual organisations.


The academic subconference will have two parts:

t-world 2001 workshop

The Second Nordic Doctoral Seminar on e -work

The Second Nordic Doctoral Seminar on Telework

The doctoral seminar will take place on Tuesday 11. September, the day
before the main assembly.
It will be the second such event, and follows the first doctoral seminar on
this topic, which took place at Turku in September 1998 in connection with
the Third International Workshop on Telework.

Participants need to be doctoral students working on topics related to
telework and virtual organisation.   The program will include tutorials and
discussions based on each participant's current research.   The organisers
will try to minimize the costs for participants through sponsorship. In any
case, the cost will not be more than that for the academic workshop, which
is also open for the doctoral seminar participants to attend too as well as
the full Assembly.

of studies and your supervisors' short recommendation to
