Information Day on 'Social Platform on Research for Families and Family Policies'
Brussels, 23/10/2008
The Directorate for Research in the economic, social sciences and humanities (SSH) of DG Research of the European Commission organised on 23/10/2008 in Brussels an Information Day on the "Social Platform on Research for Families and Family Policies" (Topic SSH-2009 - 3.2.2 of the SSH Work Programme 2009, called for under the Call Identifier FP7-SSH-2009-C published on 3 September 2008).
Based on a focussed, critical review of existing research, the social platform will bring together the related research community with stakeholder representatives, such as for example family associations, policy-makers or social partners. Its objective is to build an exchange between researchers and stakeholders on their needs and the outcomes of the studies.
The aim of this Info day event was to provide information on the topic of the call, on the (still new) instrument "social platform" and to allow potential proposers or participants to share project ideas or to present their specific competence for the creation of project partnerships.
Below you can find the presentations given by the EC staff, as well as by participants from research, civil society and governmental organisations.
