following major projects:
EMERGENCE This is a major three-year project involving research in 22 countries,
with core funding provided by the European Commission's IST (Information
Society Technologies) Programme. The acronym stands for Estimation
and Mapping of Employment Relocation in a Global Economy in the New Communications
Environment. Additional funding has been received in Austria, Australia,
Canada and Denmark and we are still seeking further funding to extend its
scope. Ursula Huws is the project director and the lead partner is
the Institute for Employment Studies.
