The IBE was founded in the year 1980 as a non-profit assoication by the worker representiative organization, unions, companies and the Johannes Kepler University Linz. The intention of this foundation was to establish a research institut which does education research from employee´s perspective. So the basis for present academic work was laid - the exploration of the labour and life conditions of employees. Two basic working fields developed out of this: In the field of education the IBE is on the one hand in the vocational and job releated research operativ (job carriere analyses, evaluations, asf.), on the other hand in the quality assurance of adult education. In the field of maintenance and assurance concering the working ability of people the IBE does research assignements and fundamental research. The IBE is especially committed to disability and rehabilitation research.
