Have you written an outstanding dissertation on European labour law?

Through the Brian Bercusson award, the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) and the European Trade Union Institute (ETUI) support academic research that deepens understanding and promotes transnational workers’ rights in Europe.

In this context, European labour law is broadly defined as European individual and collective labour law including – and especially – transnational workers’ rights, but not including national labour law implementing EU labour law nor comparative labour law projects, unless they have a clear European dimension.

To be eligible, individual PhD researchers must be affiliated to a university in one of the EU Member States or candidate countries or other countries where the ETUC has member organisations (EFTA), and have successfully defended her/his PhD at the university between 2 October 2014 and 1 October 2018.

Applications for the award can be sent to sclauwae@etui.org before 7 October 2018.

The Award will be presented at a ceremony to coincide with the ETUC Congress in Vienna, 21-24 May 2019.
