Periodic Reporting for period 1 - EQUALNovaERA (Towards a more equal and fair society: Nova SBE as an international reference institution in addressing inequalities’ drivers and effects.)

Período documentado: 2023-03-01 hasta 2024-12-31

Resumen del contexto y de los objetivos generales del proyecto

Inequality is among the most pressing issues of our times. The world has been fast-changing in recent years, and the pandemic crisis has shed light on economic inequalities and fragile social safety nets that leave vulnerable communities to bear the brunt of the crisis. The outbreak of a war in Ukraine, with millions of refugees and unforeseen impacts worldwide, will most likely worsen the current situation. It is urgent to tackle inequalities widely, designing public policies grounded on solid knowledge. However, there is still a lack of basic information. Economic growth numbers are published yearly. However, they do not reveal how growth is distributed across the population, who gains and loses from economic policies. Beyond income and wealth, it is also critical to address other dimensions of socioeconomic disparities, such as health, education, gender, or environmental inequalities. Therefore, it is urgent to advance research on inequalities, transfer knowledge to society, and contribute to well-informed, science-based public policies. EQUALNovaERA aims to position the Nova School of Business & Economics (Nova SBE) as an international reference in addressing inequalities’ drivers and effects through research, education, and community engagement while contributing to deepening the European Research Area (ERA) and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Trabajo realizado desde el comienzo del proyecto hasta el final del período abarcado por el informe y los principales resultados hasta la fecha

The EQUALNovaERA project was suspended for seven months, from June 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023. The suspension was requested because of the unavailability of the ERA Chair Holder, Adeline Delavande, beforehand. Following the suspension, both the ERA Chair Holder and the Project Manager (PM) were hired. The PM began working on the project in September 2024 and has since focused on completing the overdue deliverables in accordance with the revised deadlines outlined in the Grant Agreement amendment.
