Thanks to our multidisciplinary network of experts and stakeholders rooted at national level, we are able to manage and coordinate projects requiring (comparative) research & policy analysis as well as training & capacitybuilding in the field of (EU) social affairs.
In the framework of these projects we often also provide communication and IT services, including the development of customised information databases and web applications, the set-up and management of electronic information sharing platforms, targeted communication and promotion activities via e-newsletters and social media.
