Restructuring events
European Restructuring Monitor (ERM)
The restructuring events database contains factsheets with data on large-scale restructuring events reported in the principal national media and company websites in each EU Member State. This database was created in 2002.
Four Centre for Ecology and Hydrology laboratories have been earmarked for closure by parent group the Natural Environment Research Council (Nerc). A third of the centre's 600 staff could lose their jobs at sites at Winfrith in Dorset, Oxford, Banchory in Scotland and Monk's Wood in Cambridgeshire. The job cuts at the centre - which offers independent advice on a range of environmental issues, including climate change - would affect researchers and technical and administrative staff. Four remaining sites - in Bangor, Edinburgh, Lancaster and Wallingford - will become the focus of the centre's work following the closures. Nerc insists the restructuring would enable it 'to continue to deliver high quality research and environmental advice'.
