	Working time and social times - research, surveys, publications and contributions to lifelong education

Working time is an essential dimension of changes in work. Several current and recent projects of the FTU Work & Technology Research Centre deal with changes in working time and in conciliation between working time and social times:

• A study for the Department for Wealth at Work of the Federal Police, on working time organisation in the new integrated police and its consequences for police workers' wealth (2007)- Patricia Vendramin and Lotte Damhuis.
• A survey for FEC (Formation Education Culture), the training department of the CSC trade union, concerning working rhythms and conciliation of social times among workers in the Walloon and Brussels Regions (2006-2007) - Patricia Vendramin
• Participation to the surveys and publications of the "Club of Time" of the Chronopost Institute in Fance in 2004-2005 - Patricia Vendramin.
