This project has received funding from the European Union’s Seventh Programme for Research, Technological Development and Demonstration under Grant Agreement No A EUROPEAN SOCIAL SCIENCES RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT

2 Inclusive Growth Research Infrastructure Diffusion Funded under 7 th Framework Programme - Capacities (EU) 17 academic and European partners February 2013 – January 2017 Project to integrate and improve an existing research infrastructures –Networking activities –Transnational access –Joint research activities for improvement

3 What is a European Research Infrastructure? HELPING HANDS Research infrastructure = –facility or platform –provides resources and services –to the scientific community –Aim: enable to conduct top-level research FACILITATING RESEARCH Supports scientists in research –to access, order, analyse, store and re-use –data and knowledge –in ways otherwise impossible

4 Facilitating what kind of research? Facilitating top-level research … Poverty &Living conditions Working conditions & Job Quality Com- parative Policy- related European Inclusive growth strategy EU2020 Social sciences research … Evidence-based policies EMPIRICAL DATA Juncker: Combat 29th state

5 Inclusive Growth Research Infrastructure Diffusion Objectives Integrate and innovate existing European social sciences Research Infrastructures on Poverty and living conditions Working conditions and vulnerability by improving: Transnational data access Organising mutual knowledge exchange activities Improving methods and tools for comparative research In order to create new and better opportunities for development of evidence-based European policies on Inclusive Growth

6 About the project 17 partners in a consortium 3 types of activities: 18 Summer schools & 12 expert workshops (10 in 2016) 205 Visiting grants to data infrastructures Joint research Clustered in 4 themes: Poverty and living conditions Working conditions and vulnerability Social policy analysis Statistical quality management

17 Crowdsourcing A double blurring of organisational boundaries Title/date A network of related jobsEmployment relationship Organisation Fragmented jobs and decoupled workers

18 WHAT ‘ORGANISATION’ IN CROWDSOURCING? Structure of jobs  Extreme division of labour, micro-tasks, short-cycled  Vague and incomplete task descriptions, badly defined and delineated  Entirely defined by invisible client  Unpredictable and varying tasks specifications, unclear expectations Employment relationship  Unclear/no employment contract  Intermediair only for matching demand and supply  Virtually no working times (response speed!)  piece rate salaries  Insecurity about all aspects of the ERS  Insecurity about criteria for work assignment decisions, credentials and reputation  Intellectual property rights and promises to be delivered  No voice or representation  Loss of ‘sense of belonging’

19 FRAGMENTED JOBS AND DECOUPLED WORKERS What role for platforms and intermediaries? Title/date
