The University of Edinburgh needs your help to shape the future of work for self-employed people over 50!

Posted: 20th April 2022

The University of Edinburgh needs your help to shape the future of work for self-employed people over 50!

If you are aged 50 or above (or approaching 50) and self- employed, researchers at the University of Edinburgh would like to find out more about any health issues you experience while working, and involve you in the design of products and services to support healthy ageing as you work.

Taking part in this study will involve various individual and group activities over a period of 10 months. You will work together with researchers and other participants to come up with possible solutions to health-related challenges and problems affecting you and others while at work.

To thank you for your participation in the study, the research team is offering up to £100 in shopping vouchers.
