Hybrid Working
How can it work in academic settings?
Exhibition: Perspectives on Hybrid

“Perspectives on Hybrid” encompasses a two-year qualitative study conducted by researchers from the KIN and funded by the VU through the Hybrid Working Initiative. The project gathered interviews and observations with employees from different faculties, including academic and support staff. Additionally, the researchers adopted an innovative strategy for the data collection, engaging participants in a dynamic conversation exploring different elements included in the pictures they took.
