The international EUROSHIP consortium (led by OSLOMET – STORBYUNIVERSITETET) will provide new, gender-sensitive, comparative knowledge about the effectiveness of changing social protection policies targeted at reducing poverty and social exclusion in Europe.

The objectives of the R-HOME project are to reduce discrimination affecting Roma people with a particular focus on access to housing. It aims to support Roma integration through empowerment, the promotion and support of their active participation, capacity building and development of Roma and pro-Roma civil society. In order to support these aims we carry out background researches and collect and analyze best practices.

As a continuation of InGRID, the objectives of the InGRID-2 are to advance the integration and innovation of distributed social sciences research infrastructures on ‘poverty, living conditions and social policies’ as well as ‘working conditions, vulnerability and labour policies’ in Europe. InGRID-2 extends transnational on-site and virtual access, organize mutual learning and discussions of innovations, and improve data services and facilities of comparative research.

The InGRID project brought together 17 academic partners to provide the European scientific community with new and better opportunities to fulfil its key role in the development of evidence-based European policies on Inclusive Growth. Within this project, TÁRKI led the poverty research pillar. It also has developed IPOLIS - an Integrated Poverty and Living Conditions Indicator System. The indicator database relies on the concept of quality of life and includes children, young people, and the elderly.

Together with 16 other partner organizations, Tárki Social Research Institute takes part in the 2-year project named “Evaluation of the Common European Asylum System under Pressure and Recommendations for Further Development” (CEASEVAL), led by the Technische Universitat Chemnitz.

TÁRKI has been involved in the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) since 1986. As part of this research, a questionnaire (designed to take about half an hour to complete) is translated word for word. The survey was originally carried out in five or six countries, but lately more than 40 countries have participated, including European countries, the USA, Canada, Japan, Australia, Israel, South Africa and some Latin American countries. 

In terms of its research topics, the Household Monitor is a continuation of the Hungarian Household Panel, but without its longitudinal aspect. Its purpose is to provide a reliable assessment of the changes in the stratification of society and in social inequality. The survey is focused primarily on issues concerning the labour market and income, consumer attitudes, savings, economic expectations and economic behaviour, though changing social relations are also included among the topics of the survey.

In the past two decades the study of trust in institutions has become a minor industry of research catching up with the scholarship on social trust. Yet, despite the growing literature on the institutional trust, a number of problems have still remained unaddressed, unanswered or unsettled. The project seeks to address the questions raised in the call by focusing on those issues which so far have not received the necessary amount of attention in the literature, or if they have, their study yielded contradictory results and perplexing conclusions.
The project is founded by Eurofound.

The STYLE (Strategic Transitions for Youth Labour in Europe) project brought 24 consortium partners together, including an international advisory network and local advisory boards of employers, unions, policy makers and NGOs from over 20 European countries. The project was led by the University of Brighton, ran for 42 months, examined the obstacles and opportunities affecting youth employment in Europe.
