Economic and Social Research Institute

The Irish Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) is a not-for-profit research organisation, which was founded in 1960. The mission of the ESRI is to produce high-quality research that contributes to understanding economic and social change and that informs public policymaking and civil society in Ireland and throughout the European Union. Its primary research goal is to develop and implement a sustainable research agenda that matches closely the key long-term economic and social challenges facing Ireland in the changing international context over the next decade.

ESRI will lead the work on WP4: Internationalisation of services and growth, and will also contribute to WP2 on regulation in specific service sectors and in WP3 on innovation in services.
