Industrial Relations Research Unit

WBSIRRU

Welcome

 

The Industrial Relations Research Unit (IRRU) is a leading European centre for research and analysis on the employment relationship.

Our work combines long-term fundamental research and short-term commissioned projects. In both we maintain the independence and integrity of approach which have been the hallmark of IRRU since its establishment in 1970. The Director of IRRU is Professor Paul Marginson.

We aim to advance understanding of the rapidly changing world of employment through in-depth, critical and theoretically-informed empirical research. In so doing, we also seek to improve the quality of data and analysis available for policy-making by government, employers and trade unions.
