Project description
Collaborative strategy to address social isolation and loneliness
Social isolation and loneliness (SIL) are public health risk factors associated with increased morbidity and mortality. However, comprehensive strategies are lacking. The EU-funded LONELY-EU project will address SIL across the EU through a collaborative strategy aimed at facilitating knowledge exchange, assisting decision-makers in adopting evidence-based policies, and analysing existing data to create a sustainable evidence map that highlights the socioeconomic factors connected to SIL. The project will also develop the European SIL Index and establish the SIL Network Europe. A focused impact strategy will ensure effective communication and dissemination, maximising the project’s influence in building a more connected and resilient society.
Objective
The LONELY-EU project tackles the pressing societal issue of Social Isolation and Loneliness (SIL) across the EU through a unified strategy, engaging stakeholders at every level. LONELY-EU aims at facilitating the exchange of knowledge and practices, connecting SIL stakeholders, and supporting and encouraging decisionmakers to adopt targeted and evidence-based policies to prevent and mitigate SIL on local, regional, national, and EU levels. The LONELY-EU consortium combines scientific expertise, policy expertise, and networking and communication expertise from a diverse array of EU nations. This consortium is guided by its Evidence-to-Action Advisory Board and supported by the WHO, OECD, and other global entities.
LONELY-EU will work towards the five expected outcomes in three separate pillars. In Pillar 1, the empirical cornerstone, LONELY-EU will apply advanced statistical methods to analyze pooled existing data, creating a comprehensive, dynamic, open, accessible, and sustainable evidence map that sheds light on the socioeconomic causes and impacts of SIL at the individual and societal level. In Pillar 2, the policy foundation, LONELY-EU will craft the European Social Isolation and Loneliness Index, establishing a groundbreaking framework to monitor SIL across the EU. Pillar 2 will also draw on empirical findings from Pillar 1 to provide evidence-based recommendations for preventing, combatting, and monitoring SIL in Europe at both individual and population levels. In Pillar 3, dedicated to networking and dissemination, LONELY-EU will leverage established networks to build the SIL Network Europe, an EU-wide network of SIL stakeholders under the patronage of Vice President Evelyn Regner and Minister President Hendrik Wüst. Pillar 3 aims to execute a comprehensive impact strategy covering all steps of Communication, Dissemination, and Exploitation to maximize the longevity of the project and its impact towards a more resilient and connected society.
