On April 8, the newly
established Research Training Group "Cross-Border Labour Markets:
transnational market makers, infrastructures, institutions" RTG 2951 was
officially inaugurated with a Launch Event at Bielefeld University. Speaker
Ursula Mense-Petermann (Professor of Economic Sociology and Sociology of Work,
Bielefeld University) and Co-speaker Karen Shire (Professor of Comparative
Sociology and Japanese Society, University Duisburg-Essen) welcomed the 11
Principal Investigators from Bielefeld University, University Duisburg-Essen,
and University Osnabrück, as well as the group of 11 newly appointed doctoral

The Research Training Group investigates cross-border labour
markets and the transnational organizations, infrastructures, and institutions
that facilitate and stabilize such labour markets extending beyond national
boundaries.
The rector of Bielefeld University, Professor Angelika Epple,
congratulated the international and interdisciplinary
team of PIs for their success and praised their commitment and determination in
this highly innovative project.
