Publications

Overview

The European Union's 4^th RTD Framework Programme (1994-1998) provided a major impetus for European level Socio-economic research, through the creation of the Targeted Socio-economic Research Programme (TSER Programme).

This research is being further deepened and widened through the implementation of the Key Action "Improving the Socio-economic Knowledge base" in the 5^th RTD Framework Programme (1998-2002).

Many of the results of these research projects are of potentially major importance to a variety of users. Therefore, some effort has been devoted to the development of an effective publication and dissemination strategy.

This list of Publications provides information on existing publications, either in paper or in electronic version, as well as on publications to be available in the near future. Since the Key Action projects have commenced only recently, most of these publications arise from the TSER Programme.

The list is structured as follows:

1. Projects synopses series

For information on RTD projects and thematic networks which have been selected for funding following various calls for proposals.

2. Project reports series

• 2.1. Projects' State of the Art Series

• 2.2. Project final reports series

  All funded projects must produce an edited version of the final report for publication. Final Reports from TSER Programme are presented under the headings of the three main research areas of the Programme:

  AREA I: Evaluation of Science & Technology Policy Options

  AREA II: Research on Education & Training

  AREA III: Research on Social Integration & Social exclusion in Europe

• 2.3. Projects' cluster report series

  In order to strengthen synergies between research results, final reports' executive summaries are assembled into groups of projects clustered around major research areas and policy issues.They are presented mainly in electronic versions.

3. Studies series

All publications "hors serie", such as those arising from studies funded through Accompanying Measures, pilot actions, or scientific reports arising from projects, thematic networks, etc...

• European Union-supported educational research 1995-2003, September 2003

4. Conference and Workshop Proceedings

Proceedings from various Conferences and Workshops organised within the framework of the TSER Programme and of the Key Action.
