The European Trade Union Institute (ETUI) is the independent research and training centre of the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC). Its mission is to support, strengthen, and stimulate the European trade union movement by building bridges between research and labor.[1]

The ETUI was formed in 2005 through the merger of three specialist bodies: the European Trade Union Institute, the European Trade Union College, and the Trade Union Technical Bureau.[2] It employs a multinational team of around 60 staff members and receives financial support from the European Union.[3]

Research

The ETUI is recognised as a centre of excellence in several areas of research such as European industrial relations (including European Works Council, worker participation, European social dialogue, etc.) and working conditions (health and safety, exposure to dangerous substances – REACH, etc.).[4]

The research department consists of three subject units:

Every year the ETUI, publishes Benchmarking Working Europe, the ETUI's annual stock-take of macro-economic, social and bargaining conditions in Europe.[5]

Periodicals

Education

Previously European Trade Union College, the Education Department of the ETUI provides training and learning activities for trade union officials and leaders, shop stewards, young officers, and unionists.

The department delivers about 100 courses a year to more than 2000 participants. Trade unionist's members of the ETUC, or European Works' Councils, SE works council and special negotiation bodies (such as company level employee representatives) can participate to the training.
