The Centre initially commenced as a joint Rand Afrikaans University – University of Stellenbosch (RAU-US) initiative. However, apart from sharing the same name, the Centre at UJ in all respects operates distinct from the Centre at US, which has retained its own particular and limited focus and activities. The initial focus of the Centre was on labour law research and related activities. In recent years the social security component was added to the research and teaching activities of the Centre.
The core mission of the ILAW Network is to bring together legal practitioners and scholars in an exchange of ideas and information in order to best represent the rights and interests of workers and their organizations wherever they may be.

The University of the Free State (UFS) has a proud history as one of the oldest, most respected institutions of higher education in South Africa. It opened its doors in Bloemfontein in 1904 as the Grey University College, with six students in the Humanities. Today it is a multi-campus institution, with two diverse campuses in Bloemfontein and one in Qwaqwa in the scenic Eastern Free State, accommodating close to 40 000 students in its seven faculties, with an increasing number of international students and associates, and an ever-widening scope of active involvement in and contribution to its surrounding communities.
