University of Amsterdam: Agnes Akkerman appointed professor of Regulation of Labour

Akkerman is an expert in the field of labour relations. She investigates how the way in which work is regulated (e.g. through labour law and collective labour agreements) impacts the relationships between employers and employees, and among employees themselves.

As a professor at the UvA, Akkerman will focus on interdisciplinary research and teaching in the field of labour regulation. Within the scope of her chair, she will promote new and groundbreaking research in this field in close cooperation with the interdisciplinary researchers at AIAS-HSI and fellow academics at Amsterdam Law School and at other faculties. With regards to education, Akkerman will develop interdisciplinary courses in the field of labour relation issues.
