for Labour Law and Industrial Relations
in the European Union
THE INSTITUTE
The employees of the IAAEU research the underlying economic and legal conditions for labour in a constantly changing European society. Our task is project-related research, which is interdisciplinary, socially relevant and receives international attention. The goal is to influence the public discourse with scientific findings and thereby improve the conditions for labour and industrial relations. In that light, the institute understands itself as an initiating force for other researchers and for the region. The IAAEU was founded as a public law foundation in 1983. The institute is financed by the German Federal State of Rhineland-Palatinate and is also a scientific institution attached to Trier University. It is located on Campus II of the University.
Research at the IAAEU takes place under a tight cooperation between the two chairs of the co-directors Prof. Dr. Daniel Ulber (European Labour Law and Civil Law) and Prof. Dr. Laszlo Goerke (Business Administration – Personnel Economics). Furthermore, the institute maintains an extensive library with a unique collection of works pertinent to labour law, industrials relations, particularly industrial relations between member states of the EU, and personnel economics.
The library will be closed from Friday, 19 December 2025, to Sunday, 4 January 2026, and will reopen on Monday, 5 January 2026.
For the last month and a half, Sven Hartmann spent his time on a research visit at University College London. He stayed at the Social Research Institute at the UCL, hosted by Alex Bryson. During this visit, Sven Hartmann attended numerous seminar lectures in order to further develop his existing project concerning the relationship between foreign mass media and the environment. Sven Hartmann also generated new research ideas in discussions with colleagues at the UCL. Together with his co-author from Oxford, he developed a new project, about which more will be reported soon.
On October 24, Prof. Daniel Ulber took part in the conference “Inequality in Collective Agreements – On the ‘Decision of the Century’ by the Federal Constitutional Court.” Prof. Dr. Adam Sagan from the University of Bayreuth and Inken Gallner, President of the Federal Labor Court, organized the conference and chaired the day's proceedings.
