The launch programme featured a Nobel lecture, expert insights, and a hands-on workshop. Discussions centred on the role of evidence-based policymaking in promoting transparent governance, sustainable growth, and policies that generate real impact for society.

Through the Policy Lab, LISER will innovate, anticipate, and evaluate – from designing smarter policies and forecasting outcomes, to tracking progress and measuring effectiveness. The initiative also aims to equip policymakers with advanced tools, foster collaboration with stakeholders, and strengthen partnerships with leading institutions worldwide.

The event underlined LISER’s commitment to bridging research and policy, providing a platform where knowledge and practice meet to address today’s most pressing challenges.

CONFERENCE
Industrial

In recent years, there has been a discernible shift in the discourse on industrial relations in Europe. Contentious collective bargaining in response to surging inflation, tighter labour markets leading to a stronger bargaining position for workers, renewed strike activity in many countries and organising drives in the low-wage service sector have been noticeable developments. These changes contrast with the preceding decades marked by the erosion of sectoral collective bargaining and associated institutions.
