| Project Detail |
This four-year project will harness outputs from key social science RIs in Europe and other reliable sources to support the aims of the ‘Next Generation EU’ programme and to inform EU youth policy. Virtual access will be provided to the outputs through special installations (portals) developed during the project. The core of the proposal is a set of existing research ‘services’, which will be re-purposed and customised to focus directly on the five themes: Make it Green; Make it Digital; Make it Healthy; Make it Strong; and Make it Equal.
For each area, the consortium will work collaboratively to produce seven sets of resources:
i) A searchable inventory of relevant variables drawn from multiple cross-national datasets;
ii) Analytical summaries, suitable for policy makers and analysts new to the field, as well as interactive resources available through the project portal;
iii) Harmonised and merged extracts from these datasets that reduce the burden on analysts and increase sample sizes;
iv) New data collected through the ESS’s established CRONOS web panel infrastructure. Eleven countries will field five waves of the panel, each one dedicated to a NextGenEU theme. Free and rapid access to the data will be available through the CRONOS portal alongside analytical summaries;
v) In-person and virtual deliberative forums with young people (aged 18-34) in four countries covering the five Next Generation EU’ themes;
vi) An educational tool (E-NextGen) channelling our data for use in classrooms and by the general public;
vii) Comprehensive training materials related to all project outputs. |
