The Corvinus University of Budapest will host an international workshop ’From digital nomads to remote companies – How to become location independent’ in the framework of the EU-funded project ’Sustainable, intelligent and inclusive regional and urban models’ on 5-6 September 2019. Acknowledged experts, scholars and real digital nomads will present the new forms of employment, and the perspectives of these forms in Hungary will also be discussed. The international experts will share their experience concerning practical questions such as:

• How can one become a digital nomad?
• What is it like to work in a remote company, and how do these corporations work?

The remote employment can support the social mobility: a corporation will be presented that connects single women in the Philippines with US corporations.
