www.young-in.eu

Aims of the COST action are to

  • develop a common trans-disciplinary understanding of cross-domain  disadvantages of youth
  • identify national and cross-national knowledge and new research needs
  • understand how dominant policy approaches such as social investment can better respond to young people’s needs
  • establish a dialogue with stakeholders of youth policy to test  research based policy recommendations

CHM is the Austrian partner in the European network. Our focus is on young people with a migrant background.

CHM leads the working group on science communication and dissemination with the aim to connect research and practice and to provide guidance and policy recommendations to policy makers and stakeholders.
