Chserex, Switzerland, 11 October 2004: Adecco, the worldís largest HR Services company, announces the foundation of the Adecco Research Fellowship at the University of Warwick.
The Adecco Research Fellowship will provide funding for two outstanding academic researchers from China to work in the Employment Law Research Unit of the University of Warwick, carrying out extensive research into the Chinese labour market, the largest potential employment market in the world.
Jrme Caille, CEO of Adecco, said: We firmly believe in the co-operation between business and academia and have partnered with the University of Warwick which has a formidable array of contacts, expertise and policy involvement in this field. Through the Adecco Research Fellowship, we will support the study of the developments in the Chinese labour market and gain a significant understanding of related challenges and opportunities for our clients and associates.
The programme will consist of a one-year research fellowship and a three-year postgraduate fellowship, guided by a steering committee formed jointly by Adecco and the University. Adecco and the University of Warwick envisage a set of briefing seminars and publications presenting developments and expertise in relation to the Chinese labour market and Chinese employment regulation. The appointment of Chinese national researchers will ensure that an accurate picture of the Chinese labour market is developed through a structured programme of information-gathering and research dissemination.
Professor Alan C. Neal, University of Warwick, added: We are proud to partner with Adecco on this exciting research project. The Fellowship will reinforce Adeccoís profile as a key player in the Chinese market, and enhance the profile of the University of Warwick as a focus for expertise on the developing Chinese labour market.
