Based on a focussed, critical review of existing research, the social platform will bring together the related research community with stakeholder representatives, such as for example family associations, policy-makers or social partners. Its objective is to build an exchange between researchers and stakeholders on their needs and the outcomes of the studies.

Aim: to provide information on the topic of the call, on the (still new) instrument "social platform" and to allow potential proposers or participants to share project ideas or to present their specific competence for the creation of project partnerships
