We aim to provide an engaging and stimulating programme to maximise inclusive scholarly interaction and lively, informed debate.

The formal activities begin on Monday 3rd September and the Congress will close at 6pm on Thursday 6th September.

Workshops for presenting papers within the four tracks will be scheduled for each day of the Congress and there will be timetabled sessions for interactive poster displays.

There will be Plenary sessions each day with presentations by distinguished academics, including Lorenzo Bordogna, Simon Deakin, Francois Eyraud, Ida Regalia, Lowell Turner.

Senior practitioners and representatives of the European social partners will discuss the Future of Employment Relations in Europe during a round table plenary.

Special sessions will be run on:

  • Getting published in leading journals (convened by Russell Lansbury)
  • Undertaking comparative research in industrial relations (convened by Richard Hyman)

  • Both these sessions are likely to be of particular interest for doctoral students and new researchers but are open to all delegates.

    A number of invited symposia will take place during the congress, where cross national groups of contributors will address a theme of common and contemporary interest. There will also be special seminars, proposed by delegates. The organisers will consider proposals for special seminars linked to track themes after January 2007.

    Meetings of IIRA study groups during the Congress will be arranged in conjunction with study group convenors. These are open to all. For a list of study groups, click here.

    A number of organisations and publishers will have exhibition stands at the congress and various Lunchtime Events will take place.

    BUIRA (British Universities Industrial Relations Association) will hold its Annual meeting during the congress.

    BUIRA is hosting a workshop for presentation of papers by doctoral student and new researchers.  See BUIRA website.
