50th Anniversary of Social Research at the ESRI
The Economic Research Institute was founded in 1960. In 1966 the remit of the Institute was extended to include social research, becoming the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI).
On 29 November 2016, the ESRI marked the occasion with a conference at the ESRI building.
