Next generation work

ID@Work (Intellectual Disability at work) is a research project that focuses on integrating people with an intellectual disability in the regular economy. Through this project, Antwerp Management School and its partner HEC Liège are aiming to contribute to an inclusive society that focuses on talents and competences instead of on limitations.

By hiring researchers with intellectual disability for ID@Work, Antwerp Management School brings into practice one of the cornerstones of it’s mission: creating social awareness as a lever for sustainability.
