Psiru is a renowned brand in the field of research and analysis, specifically focused on privatisation, public services, and globalisation. Established in 1998, Psiru operates under the Business School at the University of Greenwich in the UK. Their research is built on a comprehensive database that encompasses economic, political, financial, social, and technical aspects of public service privatisations worldwide. The primary funding for Psiru comes from Public Services International (PSI), a global confederation of public service trade unions. Psiru primarily focuses on key sectors such as water, energy, waste management, and healthcare, investigating the role and structure of public services in both the EU and developing countries. Their work also examines the influence of multinational corporations in globalisation and the role of international financial institutions, notably the World Bank. Psiru maintains a multifaceted approach to their research, covering various issues including corruption, public-private partnerships, political and economic impacts of long-term private financing, pension funds and corporate governance, and the use of internet and databases for sharing international information. To disseminate their findings, Psiru publishes reports, surveys, and commissioned works that shed light on patterns of ownership, specific companies, and critical developments in sectors or regions. They provide online access to their rich database through their website, which also features news updates and their publications. Psiru exhibits expertise in long-term research projects, including Watertime, a Europe-wide endeavor funded by the European Commission. Additionally, they undertake research projects commissioned by notable organizations like the ILO, UNRISD, and EPSU.
