Cancelled: Perspectives for Youth Research 2030
Conference – Symposium - Forum
18-19 May 2020 | Vienna, Austria
Context
For more than 10 years, the RAY Network conducted not only an ongoing monitoring and evaluation of the European youth programmes, but also implemented thematic research projects on topics such as young people’s active citizenship or youth workers’ professional development. In addition, and full complementarity, the Horizon2020 research programme funded more than 30 thematic youth research projects in the past 7 years, on themes including health, mobility, participation, and well-being.
There are currently only few connections between these two domains of youth research, little overlap between the institutions and organisations implementing the respective research projects and programmes, and the results are not widely enough known beyond each realm.
With this conference, the RAY Network would like to take a first step to close the gap between youth research happing in and beyond the context of the European youth programmes.
Aim and objectives
The main aim of the conference is to explore the potential of youth research within and beyond the European youth programmes during the coming decade.
The following objectives have been set for the conference, which seeks to:
- Bring together youth research stakeholders from across the youth field, who are active in or interested in the European youth programmes and/or Horizon2020 youth research
- Explore, discuss and connect the findings of youth research in the past decade, building a comprehensive overview of current youth research findings across research contexts
- Use the overview of current research findings to identify thematic and/or methodic gaps in the youth research landscape in the European youth and youth research programmes
- Look forward to the next decade of youth research in Europe, seeking to identify new and common themes as well as new and collaborative ways of steering youth research
Participants
All interested European youth research and youth policy stakeholders are invited to attend and contribute to the conference, including but not limited to:
- RAY Network partners (NA representatives and research partners) & policy partners at national and transnational level
- Research and policy partners of Horizon2020 research projects with a youth focus
- Youth sector actors interested in co-shaping youth research for the next decade
We use the term ‘youth sector actor’ very openly. Whether you understand yourself as a sociologist with an interest in youth studies, or a youth worker interested in youth work evaluation, or a youth policy expert working with data from research – whatever your official role description is: as long as you are interested, you are welcome!
