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 IAAEU participated in the 7th Annual Meeting of the Berlin Network for Research on Well-Being, held at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg on 26 and 27 February 2026. The meeting brought together researchers working on various aspects of well-being to present recent research and exchange ideas.
The proceedings of the ceremony marking “150 years of Hugo Sinzheimer”, which took place on April 11, 2025 in Frankfurt am Main, were recently published in the HSI series.
Dr. Ulugbek Aminjonov joined the economic team of the IAAEU on January 15, 2026. Dr. Aminjonov studied Economics at the University of Mannheim and Westminster International University in Tashkent (WIUT).
