New Research Services Agreement Between UGT Catalunya and the Bosch i Gimpera Foundation

A new collaborative research initiative has been launched under the project T23147S – Contract for the Provision of Professional Services, formalized between UGT Catalunya and the Fundació Bosch i Gimpera. The project is led by principal investigators Amado Alarcón and Antonio Di Paolo, both recognized for their academic contributions in the fields of labor studies and applied economics.

UGT Catalunya, one of the leading trade union organizations in Catalonia, maintains an active presence in Barcelona and conducts a wide range of social, labor, and training initiatives. Its headquarters are located on Rambla del Raval, Barcelona, where it also manages communication, public events, and ongoing institutional projects. The organization has a long-standing role in defending labor rights, providing legal and social support to workers, and promoting research-related collaborations in the region.

The project is financed directly by UGT Catalunya, continuing its commitment to evidence-based policy and applied research in the labor market. As part of its mission, the organization frequently engages in initiatives aimed at strengthening worker protections, improving labor conditions, and addressing emerging social and economic challenges in Catalonia.

The Fundació Bosch i Gimpera (FBG)—the technology and knowledge transfer entity of the University of Barcelona—acts as a bridge between academic researchers and public or private institutions. Although no additional public details about this specific project appear in current records, collaborations of this nature typically involve the development of applied studies, sectoral analyses, or advisory reports tailored to institutional needs.
