 The Global Union Research Network (GURN) was established in January 2004 as a follow up to the millennium debate of the Global Unions Group. It is a platform for trade unionists and researchers dealing with the challenges of globalization from a labour perspective.The GURN is a cooperation project of the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC), the Trade Union Advisory Committee to the OECD (TUAC) , the Global Union Federations (GUFs), the ILO's International Institute for Labour Studies (IILS) and the ILO's Bureau for Workers' Activities (ACTRAV). Currently, the ITUC, TUAC and ILO/ACTRAV form the steering committee of the GURN. The aim of the research network is to give union organizations better access to research carried out within trade unions and allied institutions, while enabling them to exchange information on matters of joint concern and to develop the capacity to make analyses and take part in debates and policy formulation.
