Objective The long-term objective of this proposal is to create a sciencebased European System of Social Reporting and Welfare Measurement within and beyond the European Union, especially by including social scientists from East European reform states. This objective should be achieved by - advancing existing and developing new and innovative theoretical concepts, methodological approaches and empirical tools; - better utilizing existing data bases and developing new ones where necessary; - applying those concepts, tools and data bases to the urgent problems of social exclusion and socio-economic inequality; - establishing a network of cooperating research teams which could be quickly mobilized as correspondents for short-term information and which could be the core for longer-term endeavours like a "European Social Report". For a brief introduction, by social reporting we mean the monitoring of social change and welfare development; by welfare we mean the objective living conditions and the subjective well-being of individuals, private households, social groups and the overall population; and social exclusion (as process) and socio-economic inequality (as structure) means denying people good living conditions and well-being. We propose a stepwise approach of developing a science-based European System of Social Reporting and Welfare Measurement, and of concentrating during a three-year period on seven subprojects, each coordinated by one of the participating teams and subscribed by different sets of partners. The seven subprojects are: 2.1 Review and Redefinition of Welfare and Welfare Production 2.2 System of Social Indicators 2.3 Comparative Studies on Social Integration and Social Exclusion 2.4 Stocktaking of Comparative Databases in Survey Research 2.5 Access to Comparative Official Micro-Data 2.6 Developing a European Welfare Survey 2.7 Comparative Dynamics of European Welfare Outcomes Fields of science natural sciencescomputer and information sciencesdatabasessocial sciencessociologysocial issuessocial inequalities Programme(s) FP4-TSER - Specific programme of targeted socio-economic research, 1994-1998 Topic(s) 03 - RESEARCH INTO SOCIAL INTEGRATION AND SOCIAL EXCLUSION IN EUROPE Call for proposal Data not available Funding Scheme CSC - Cost-sharing contracts Coordinator Zentrum für Umfragen Methoden und Analysen Address 68072 Mannheim 1 Germany See on map EU contribution € 0,00 Participants (7) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all Budapest University of Economic Sciences Hungary EU contribution € 0,00 Address 8,foevam ter 8 1093 Budapest See on map Centre d'Etudes de Populations, de Pauvreté et de Politiques Socio-Economiques Luxembourg EU contribution € 0,00 Address Rue emile frank 4501 Differdange See on map Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule - ETH Zürich Switzerland EU contribution € 0,00 Address 70,scheuchzerstrasse 70 8092 Zürich See on map INSTITUTE OF SOCIOLOGY OF THE ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE CZECH REPUBLIC Czechia EU contribution € 0,00 Address Jilska 1 11000 Praha 1 See on map Institute of Philosophy and Sociology - Polish Academy of Sciences Poland EU contribution € 0,00 Address 72,nowy swiat 72 00 330 Warszawa See on map Paul Lazarsfeld Gesellschaft für Sozialforschung Austria EU contribution € 0,00 Address 19/9,marie-theresienstrasse 19/9 1090 Wien See on map UNIVERSITAET MANNHEIM Germany EU contribution € 0,00 Address L 7, 1 68161 Mannheim See on map
