Building remote-work communities in the Alpine Space: co-designed and sustainable solutions

Abstract

Since the beginning of this project, the three areas under study have provided different results (annex). In both France and Austria, we found that there is already a significant number of coworking spaces and remote workers; however, in Italy, this “remote work” phenomenon is less present and simply more recent. In our endeavour to find the strengths/ weakness and opportunities/threats of these three areas, we obtained some interesting yet varying results. While optical fibre is widespread in Austria and France, the situation in Italy differs. Additionally, we found that remote workers in France have more difficulty finding a home in comparison to those living in Italy and Austria. These main differences led us to the conclusion that the co-creation aspect of this project could not be presented in a standard way during this report. In fact, it was agreed that we needed to create three different methodologies and tools adapted to each territory. To recall, the purpose of this action 1.3 was to co-construct solutions for working remotely in mountain areas. Since our three areas are not strictly the same as those explained above, we have decided to begin our reflections on different subjects. In France, given the abundance of coworking spaces and remote workers, the latter have often encountered challenges in establishing themselves and achieving full satisfaction with their living conditions. Consequently, French partners have opted to conduct a benchmarking analysis of existing solutions in analogous rural French areas. In Austria, the coworking spaces are not well distributed throughout the country. Therefore, each of these spaces were studied to recognise their strong points/weaknesses, the services they are offering. and how they operate in order to gain a better understanding of what the potential creation of coworking spaces could be like. In Italy, on the other hand, there are no established coworking spaces in the for individuals studying, and therefore no other benchmarking was created. However, they drew inspiration from the information we provided about coworking spaces in the studied area, specifically those in France and Austria. Following this, each country designed its own methodology for the co-creation groups. In the three countries, we decided to organise a workshop where all participants from the first steps were invited. In France, these participants included territorial employees; in Austria, these included students in particular; and in Italy, they combined various people (remote workers, companies, etc.). All these workshops produced different results that we will present in this report. Also, at the end of the document, we will propose a conclusion of what we have learnt from these workshops which can be used in other mountain territories.
