A unique aspect of the Regulating for Decent Work Conference is the commitment to creating an environment for global research dialogue, especially between industrialized and developing countries. In this respect, a Fellowship fund has been established to support researchers from and residing in developing or emerging countries who may otherwise be prevented from attending (see https://www.ilo.org/global/research/events-courses/rdw/6/WCMS_647475/lang--en/index.htm). The support covers flight tickets, plus living allowances amounting to CHF 1,000. The external collaborator will produce a research paper as outlined in the submitted abstract and in line with the requirements of the Conference on Regulating for Decent Work.

Country report on the performance of various mechanisms and processes for prevention and resolution of individual disputes in the Philippines$7,048
Background
The ILO is undertaking comparative research on the performance of dispute prevention and resolution mechanisms and processes for individual labour disputes within the framework of the Plan of Action adopted in the Governing Body to implement the Conference conclusions concerning the recurrent discussion on social dialogue (102nd Session of the ILC). Taking into account the Conference conclusions and the guidance provided by the GB, the research project is designed to help understand which dispute prevention and resolution mechanisms and processes work best in different contexts and why so as to identify guiding principles for effective dispute resolution for individual labour disputes.
