From October 16 to 18, 2024, Athens hosted the latest Transnational Project Meeting (TPM) for the STRIDE project. This meeting brought together consortium members from across Europe to continue joining efforts toward promoting equity and inclusion in education and training systems.

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!

How can economic growth, social inclusion and ecological sustainability be reconciled? What are the synergies and trade-offs at global, national and local levels? These were the core issues in the focus of the 5th consortium meeting of the SPES project, hosted by TÁRKI Social Research Institute from November 27th to 29th, 2024, in Budapest.

The agenda included a comprehensive review of project progress, discussions on upcoming deliverables, and a workshop exploring the connection between economic growth, human flourishing, and environmental sustainability.

The meeting concluded with the SPES Policy Dialogue, a public event held at the Hungarian Parliament fostering the exchange of ideas between researchers, policy makers and stakeholders.

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.
