About ROA
The Research Centre for Education and the Labour Market (ROA) is a research institute of the Maastricht University School of Business and Economics, established in 1986. Through its research, the institute aims to improve the understanding of the relationship between education and the labour market. More specifically, ROA studies the effects of knowledge and skills acquired in education and other learning situations in three areas, namely the interaction between labour demand and supply, occupational careers, and performance within organisations. ROA also contributes to both academic discussions and the public debate on education and labour market issues.
ROA’s research is organised along three research lines: Dynamics of the Labour Market, Education and Occupational Career, and Training and Employment. The three research lines are supported by a fundamental research programme. The fundamental research is partly funded by the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO) and the SBE’s research school METEOR. ROA’s research activities are being carried out and supported by a dedicated scientific and support staff, consisting of about 35 employees.
