The time use community has grown over the years and IATUR has established relationships with institutional, community groups and research centers interested in various aspects of time use. This networking has enabled us to both disseminate the work being done with time use survey and by time use researchers, and to learn from time policies being developed in various locations.
As an association fostering research on time use, we gain from understanding the types of time policies being discussed, how they are being documented and how time use research can help develop evidence-based policies and programs. Networking also serves to inspire our members’ future research using time use data.
Members of the Time use initiative (TUI) have been involved with IATUR since 2018 by serving on IATUR’s board, by hosting IATUR’s 2021 conference, by coordinating the Newsletter and by regularly attending the conference and hosting IATUR members in TUI events.
The Centre for Time Use Research has been involved with IATUR from its inception and has consistently sent a strong contingent of researchers to the annual conference. The CTUR's research work, tool development, and data repository have been central to the goals and interests of IATUR.
The International Network of Time-Use Epidemiologists (INTUE) is focused on time use and health research. Collaboration between members of IATUR and INTUE has been growing over the years, with cross attendance to conferences and a range of joint research projects.
Members of Tempo Territorial have repeatedly attended IATUR’s conference over the years and have served to transmit research knowledge to policy-making agendas and to communicate necessary research to enact time policies.
