Projects
The Institute organises a range of collective research projects which bring together subject experts to develop ideas around specific issues.
The IER's projects have been widely influential, including on two Labour Party manifestos in 2017 and 2019.
The IER arranges projects to answer the needs of modern society when it comes to workers’ rights.
Our projects are often initiated internally, but can be commissioned by external parties who wish to access our extensive network of lawyers and academics.
