New Project: Navigating the Next Normal (NEXT-UP)

NEXT-UP is a large-scale interdisciplinary and multi-method research project with the goals of

1. investigating and predicting the long-term effects of the COVID-19 crisis on youth transitions from school to work and
2. co-creating, with stakeholders, evidence-informed, future-oriented policies and programmes.

This  project is financed by Horizon Europe and implemented by a consortium of ten reserach organisations and one student union located in nine European countries. The European Centre's contribution to the project focuses on the analysis of youth employability policies used during the pandemic and the development of measures fit to meet future needs in the context of the digitial transition.
