TÁRKI is pleased to announce its participation in the new project, Sustainable Wellbeing through Investment in Social Services (SWINS), funded by the Horizon Europe programme. This initiative is a collaboration between TÁRKI Social Research Institute, ARCO Florence and Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, and a network of research institutions across the EU.
SWINS aims to advance our understanding of how investments in social services — such as kindergartens, education, labor market measures, and health and care services — can support sustainable welfare in Europe. Using a life course perspective, the project will explore the impacts of these services, considering how they can most effectively contribute to well-being across generations.
Led by ARCO Florence and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and building on the hashtag#EUROSHIP project, SWINS offers a framework for deepening our collaboration with research colleagues committed to examining European welfare policy in detail. András Gábos, Márton Medgyesi and István György Tóth will provide there expertise to reach the project objectives in the field of data infrastructure, indicators and scenario building.
This three-year project is scheduled to start in early 2025. We look forward to contributing to this vital work and to sharing insights with our partners and stakeholders.
