April 2025

Scheduled for Wednesday 30th April, from 9:30 to 11:30, the event will aim to reflect on the value of time and the need to promote new ways of organising working time. The main topic under discussion will be reducing working time to 37.5 hours per week, a measure which is already being implemented in different organisations with a proven impact on well-being, efficiency, and equality.

The Time Academy offers a framework to learn and exchange on time policies. Building upon experiences from municipalities and regions, the Academy provides urban officers, decision-makers, and practitioners with a practical training programme designed to implement time-conscious governance within their respective levels of competence. This capacity-building approach guarantees participants not only comprehend temporal governance concepts — but also acquire practical implementation skills.
