The STRIDE project examines long-term trends in educational inequalities and compares European policies, a mission that took centre stage at our recent consotrium meeting in Budapest on 11-12 June.  A major highlight was hosting a workshop with researchers and representatives of teachers’ and parents’ organisations and NGOs, who hands-on tested our upcoming interactive policy map and policymaker toolbox. We also reviewed a comparative analysis of case studies from five countries on the impact of Early Childhood Education policies as well as the critical findings from our Roma subproject on early school leaving. We look forward to sharing more updates as these tools and insights develop.

We are pleased to announce the release of the DECIPHE Contextual Database: Demographic, Institutional, and Normative Contexts of Intergenerational Homeownership in Europe, now available in open access via Zenodo: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18547617.

TÁRKI's colleague Zsófia Tomka presented her research findings with Anikó Bernát about the "Risk factors and coping strategies: Measuring the living conditions of Ukrainian refugees in Hungary" (Kockázati tényezők és megküzdési stratégiák: A magyarországi ukrán menekültek életkörülményeinek felmérése) at the Annual Hungarian Sociology Conference at the University of Pécs.

We congratulate our colleagues on their results and successful performance!
