Alumni Applied Research School (AARS)
Overview
The Alumni Applied Research School (AARS) is a transfer instrument that allows alumni to share their experience and to work on ICDD topics after receiving their MA / MSc. It takes place every year over several days with the aim of bringing together current students, researchers, and graduates, many of whom have joined trade unions or NGOs in their professional lives.
The aim of the summer school is to strengthen Global Labour University (GLU) and ICDD network links and to explore options for future research collaboration. What is more, summer school also provides a vital means of professional networking for alumni as well as a means of supporting them in their careers. It serves as a platform for exchanging practical solutions from their practical day-to-day experience. This is achieved, for instance, within research groups on issues of the world of work. AARS usually takes place together with and complements the annual GLU Conference.
Below is the timeline of previous AARS events. The last AARS event took place in 2019.
