Director’s diary
The progress of European integration over the past half century has resulted in a specifically European context for industrial relations. To understand the European system of industrial relations, it is necessary to have a sense of how it grew, how it is shaped, and what its current and evolving structure looks like. The Foundation will launch its European industrial relations dictionary, an online glossary of industrial relations terms, in Brussels on 30 November. The dictionary is the Foundation’s response to increasing demand for an up-to-date, easily accessible and useful resource on European industrial relations.
The Foundation will also be launching Foundation Focus, the new twice-yearly magazine focusing on a topic of critical social and economic importance in the European Union, during the month. The first issue is devoted to the theme of industrial restructuring, which has in recent years become a characteristic feature of the European industrial landscape.
At the end of the month, the Foundation will bring together experts to gather and exchange information on the state of affairs of industrial relations in the EU, Japan and USA. The seminar findings will contribute to the annual publication on the progress of industrial relations in these three economic blocs early next year.
