Research:

With research projects financed by external funding, academic publications, lectures at national and international congresses and through regular KOAMI conferences, we make a substantial contribution to the development of law in collective labor law and participation law.

Contract services:

We prepare studies and legal opinions for administrative authorities, parliamentary committees, companies, employee and employer associations, enforcement bodies of collective employment agreements, personnel committees and other organizations that are confronted with issues of collective employment law and internal participation. We are also available for advisory mandates and the provision of continuing educations.

Our claim:

As a research center of the Faculty of Law of the University of Basel, we are independent of the interests of individual parties.
With our research and services, we make a contribution to overcoming the challenges faced by those involved in the broad field of collective employment law and the right to participation.
