Abstract: In 2016 the Institute for Economic and Social Research (WSI) celebrates its 70th anniversary. The institute was founded under its former name Institute for Economic Research (WWI) immediately after the Second World War on the initiative of Viktor Agartz and Hans Böckler. This article gives an overview of the different periods in the history of the institute. Despite all the changes and developments there is also great continuity in certain fields of research which can be regarded as the core competences of the institute. Among them are, in particular, the areas of labour, social and collective bargaining policy. The WSI follows an approach of labour-oriented research, of which the fundamental aim is to contribute to the improvement of working and living conditions.
