RESER is a network of research groups and individuals active in services research and policy formulation, mainly located in European countries. The Association was established in 1988 at a time when service employment and industries were under-researched and there was a limited understanding of the role that services played in economic and social restructuring. RESER members come from diverse disciplinary backgrounds: economics, management sciences, geography, sociology, psychology, political sciences and planning. Most are based in universities and independent research institutes across Europe, but some are employed in private firms, as researchers or consultants.
But RESER is also determined to support PhD students involved in service related research as shown by the different initiatives taken in the last two years

The organizer of the annual RESER Conference is a non-permanent member of the Council.

The Services and Enterprise Research Unit (SERU) is at the forefront of cutting edge innovative research into the industries, occupations and activities associated with services and enterprise. Since the establishment of services research in 1993 at the University of Birmingham, under the guise of the Service Sector Research Unit, SERU has played a leading international role in setting the research and policy agenda in the world of services and enterprise.To be informed on the Service sector commentary, To be informed on the Service sector commentary, url:http://www.gees.bham.ac.uk/research/clusters/ee/seru/
