EU Collaborative Research Project Win for DCU Business School

We are delighted to advise you that Dr. Aurora Trif, lecturer in HRM in DCU Business School and a member of the LINK Research Institute, has been successful in coordinating a recent EU bid for a collaborative project that will examine precarious employment practices within new EU member states.

The title of the project is ‘The rise of the dual labour market: fighting precarious employment in the new member states through industrial relations’. There are 10 EU countries involved: the Czech Republic, Croatia, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia). DCU is the coordinator of the project, which is worth €339,000.

Aurora, who is the chair of the MSc in Human Resource Strategies Part Time Executive Programme, is especially interested in employment relations in Eastern Europe, workplace partnership and high performance work systems, and labour migration of highly skilled workers. She has been involved in several international research projects funded by the European Commission. Her research has been published in top academic journals, book chapters and for conferences.

DCU Business School wish her success with the project.
