EuSocialCit

Does the European Union devote sufficient attention to social developments? Many people feel that it does not and consider Europe to be anything but socially minded. The current European Commission wants to change this. To this end, it has expressed emphatic support for an action plan to implement in its entirety the European Pillar of Social Rights (EPSR), which is a solemn declaration that includes twenty admirable principles of social policy. EuSocialCit, which is the acronym for ‘The Future of European Social Citizenship’, is a research project which will help translate this intention into concrete policy measures. The EuSocialCit project is funded by the EU’s Horizon 2020 framework programme for Research and Innovation. It is developed in response to the call for proposals with ID H2020-SC6-GOVERNANCE-04-2019, which centered upon the question of how to get to a more social and fair Europe, and spoke directly to the European Pillar of Social Rights.
