Established in 1997, the Employment Research Institute (ERI) carries out applied and theoretical research into employment and its links to individuals, the economy and society. The ERI focuses on rigorous, independent, interdisciplinary research in the areas of: employment and employability; regional and local economic development; the changing nature of work and adaptability in businesses and their employees; and equal opportunities.
Working with and for many prominent organisations such as UK and Scottish Governments, the European Commission, the Equalities and Human Rights Commission, the UK Commission for Employment and Skills, the Department for Work and Pensions, the Scottish Rugby Union, Joseph Rowntree Foundation, and the European Social Fund, regional agencies and local authorities, as well as many others, the ERI produces compelling research and influential reports.
In addition to the Research that we are involved in, the ERI has a Seminar Series that attracts speakers from around the globe. The ERI hosts several visiting researchers throughout the year, and if you would be interested in getting involved, please contact Prof. Ronald McQuaid, or another member of Staff.
