Background
Marcus Meyer's research interests cover employee participation issues, both under EU and national law, as well as corporate mobility issues. Aside from his research on EWCs and works councils in multinational corporations, also the impact on employees’ rights in the context of cross-border mergers, European Companies (SEs) and other forms of corporate mobility are part of his research focus. A large part of his research is empirical in nature, both by means of quantitative as well as qualitative research methods. He defended his Ph.D. on the position of Dutch works councils in multinational corporations in 2018.
