GIANT will have around 10,000 researchers by 2015 based on an investment of 1.2 billon €. The work, life and careers group at CCIG brings together a number of researchers whose interests cover a spectrum of topics from individual career management to organisational level innovations in work life reconciliation, to the analysis of labour market policy. The research has a strong international component incorporating comparative cross-national analyses and the analysis of work life issues for employees of multinational companies. The group comprises of six permanent staff – lead by Mark Smith – working on a number of international projects and presenting their work in international conferences and publishing in practitioner and academic journals. Past and present projects include funding from a range of national and international institutions. Research projects are supported by the Centre TIME project management unit that has developed competences in European, National and Regional project management with experienced researchers and support staff. The Centre has worked with a number of partners across Europe and developed considerable experience in the coordination and management of research projects. All persons engaged in this project have experience and knowledge of participation in and delivering for European research sponsors.
