The 21st century is characterized by the uncertainty that results from the multiple transitions that the societies have been through and the current crisis. The issue of “meaning” or “meanings” applied to work as well as the whole life takes a special relevance. Recent research in applied psychology or career counselling psychology have investigated this issue by identifying the outlines, developing conceptual models and assessing consequences on health and wellbeing. These concerns are pluridisciplinary at the crossroads of sociology, philosophy, educational sciences, management, and life sciences. The emergence of the sciences of complexity and the evolution of research methods that aims to overtake linear models in order to better understanding the relationships between meaning of work and meaning of life contribute to the issue of meaning. Such relationships should be considered as subjective, dynamics, and related the contexts they occur. The conference aims to better understanding what are meaning of life and meaning of work, their relationships, and their links with career choices and career/life transitions.
