CELSI is expanding its research agenda with a new area: Labour History. Led by Adam Šumichrast the new area examines the historical development of work, labour institutions, trade unions, employer strategies, and state labour policies, with a particular focus on Central and Eastern Europe and other transforming societies.

Within CELSI, Labour History adds historical depth to empirical and policy-oriented research, and engages with current debates on the roles and revitalisation of trade unions and employers' organisations by situating them within longer-term institutional frameworks.

Labour History joins CELSI's eight existing research areas: Labour Data and Measurement, Caring Societies, New Forms of Work, Labour Mobility, Inequalities and Vulnerabilities, Welfare and Labour Policy, Social Dialogue and Collective Bargaining, and Green and Digital Transitions.
