Short description

AFI-IPL (Arbeitsförderungsinstitut – Istituto Promozione Lavoratori) was established in 1995 in Bolzano, South Tyrol, Italy. The main purpose of its activities is to improve the professional, economic and social conditions of workers and employees. The labor environment could have strong effects on the workers life thus the topic “quality of work” and its effects should not be underestimated. Therefore AFI-IPL concentrates on doing research in this field. Additionally, AFI-ILP supports social organisations and labour unions (trade unions) with its knowledge and its expertise without compromising the independence of contract negotiations. The institute has a strongly committed team and a quality management system that both ensure a high quality of research.
