Centre for Labour Studies : Biennial Report : 2009-2010

Abstract

On the research front, the Centre for Labour Studies won the bid to act as Malta’s contact centre for the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions for the third time in succession since 2003. Through this contract, the Centre carries out and supplies local research to the European Industrial Relations Observatory, the European Working Conditions Observatory, and the European Restructuring Monitor. Such information is promoted internationally through the Foundation’s popular website, and some of its articles are now being translated in Maltese. Throughout the same period, the Centre’s staff was also involved in various other projects in conjunction with local and foreign. Such research included studies of the effects of the international economic recession on Malta. Meanwhile, a new and more informative website was set up in order to help disseminate relevant research and impart information about the Centre for Labour Studies’s programmes of study.
