The Interuniversity Research Centre on Globalization and Work (CRIMT) is focused on the theoretical and practical challenges associated with changes in work and employment. This center is referred to by its acronym (CRIMT) in both French and English.
Established in 2003, CRIMT now brings together more than 270 university-based experts from fields including industrial relations, labour and employment policy, human resource management, labour law, ergonomics, political economy, and economic geography. Among these experts, 64 are based in Quebec.
Founded by the Université de Montréal, Université Laval, and HEC Montréal, CRIMT is an interinstitutional research centre that brings together researchers affiliated with more than a dozen Quebec universities. In Quebec, it is supported by an interuniversity agreement between its three founding institutions, as well as UQAM and UQTR as partner institutions.
CRIMT receives funding as an operating centre under the Strategic Clusters program of the Fonds de recherche du Québec (FRQ), as well as support from its five partner institutions in Quebec.
