TransEurope Research Network (TRANSEUROPE)

Transnationalisation and Changing Life Course Inequality in Europe

Summary

TransEurope identifies the impact of transnationalisation on life course inequality within selected European nations

  • develop and compare macro-level measures of transnationalisation for use in comparative longitudinal life course studies;
  • specify mechanisms of European transnationalisation’s impact on life course inequality;
  • examine how institutions and social policies filter these mechanisms; and
  • study individual-level responses to transnationalism’s effects at pivotal life course transitions.

Scientists from 7 European countries will network their interdisciplinary expertise through intensive workshops, exchanges and a research school to create theoretical, methodological, and policy-related innovations regarding transnationalism’s European consequences.


Duration

5 years, from June 2006 to June 2011.
