Trade Unions and University Research: Collaborating to make work better

Friday 20 June, 9.30am-4.30pm, Nottingham Trent University (hybrid in person and online)

Join us for an event that will explore how trade unionists and academic researchers can work together to improve working conditions. We’ll discuss the historical context for this work and the challenges and opportunities offered by the current moment, learn from one another, expand and deepen our collaborations, and undertake practical work to advance workers’ interests.

Bursaries are available to cover expenses for within-UK travel, accommodation (if distance requires an overnight stay) and loss of earnings (if attendance means missing paid work). To apply for bursaries contact konrad.rekas@ntu.ac.uk or indicate your request for a bursary on the registration form. Decisions on bursary applications will be made on a case by case basis but we will support as many people as possible to attend. 

Registration costs are on a sliding scale of what you can afford, with all registration fees adding to the bursaries fund, enabling us to make the conference more accessible for more people. Please ensure you enter the amount that you can afford (suggested amounts £0 / £5 / £20 / £50 / £100)
