Prof Michael Doherty recently attended the kick-off meeting of a new, 2-year EU Commission funded project, DIGILARE (Digitalization of Industrial Labour Relations – Age-old values in a new digital world (DIGILARE 101126503)). DIGILARE’s (101126503) goal is to provide a comparative analysis of how national industrial relations systems at company/undertaking level respond to the challenges linked to the digital workplace and to digitalisation of employment relationships, with a view to eventually reinforcing industrial relations structures in Europe. The consortium is led by the Universidade de Santiago de Compostela – USC, the Universität Wien – UVienna, and ASTREES, and the team is composed of 23 researchers, from 15 countries (14 Member States and Turkey).
Prof Doherty recently completed another European Commission funded project; Varieties of Industrial Relations in Aviation Lockdown (VIRAL). A book based on the work of this project is due in 2024.
