European Work and Employment Research Centre
The European Work and Employment Research Centre has developed an internationally-recognised programme of comparative and interdisciplinary research funded by national and international agencies. This research involves collaborations by academics and research staff from a range of disciplines, including management, labour economics, sociology, geography and industrial relations.
Established in 1994 in the Manchester School of Management at UMIST under the direction of Professor Jill Rubery, EWERC is now located in the Manchester Business School of The University of Manchester, with close collaboration with colleagues in the School of Social Science (SoSS), as well as the Schools of Environment & Development (SED) and Law.
The current director is Professor Damian Grimshaw (MBS), with co-directors Professor Colette Fagan (SoSS), Professor Jill Rubery (MBS) and Professor Kevin Ward (SED). The Centre houses several researchers and PhD students who are affiliated or based in the Centre. More than a dozen academics and two research fellows have funded projects running in the Centre, and in total more than a dozen academics in MBS, SoSS and SED have close links through current or previous research collaborations.
