Tárki organized an expert workshop to extend IPOLIS

Within the frame of the InGRID-2 project (funded under the Horizon 2020 framework programme of the European Commission), TÁRKI Social Research Institute organized an expert workshop entitled Methods and data infrastructure to measure the quality of life of various vulnerable groups: extending IPOLIS, on 25-27 April 2018, in Budapest.

The aim of the expert workshop was to discuss the main conceptual and methodological issues related to the measurement of quality of life and to the underlying data infrastructure for four vulnerable groups in Europe: (i) disabled people, (ii) institutionalized people, (iii) the Roma and (iv) migrant people and people with migrant background. The first day of the meeting was dedicated to the presentation of the project context and to the lessons from the set up and development of IPOLIS; the second day to the discussion of the four hard-to-reach or hard-to-identify vulnerable groups; while the third day focused on specific issues such as policy indicators,or non-standard methods of reaching the non-reachables.
