This was the focus of our workshop in May 2025 in Luxembourg, bringing together experts from international organisations and national agencies. The report is now out! 📄 sustainable-leave-policies.eu/methodologic...

Our new paper about the Families in Households Typology (FHT) is finally out!

Did you know that 22.8% of Belgians care for/provide support to family members who need help due to age, illness or disability?

I often talk about how 🇳🇱 is THE place for Social Science and Humanities. Today 🇳🇱 got 25 ERC Starting Grants in SSH.

🇩🇪 (16) and 🇬🇧 (14) are distant 2nd and 3rd. Leiden University alone got more ERC Starting Grants in SSH than 🇸🇪.

This is the sector that the Dutch Government wants to dismantle
