PROFEEDBOOK5

IIn the framework of the PROFEEDBACK Action, one conference every half-year is implemented. After each conference thematic deliverables are issued, the so called PROFEEDbooks (D4.1-D4.8). They summarise the main presentations and results of the conferences.

PROFEEDbooks support multidisciplinarity, the systematisation of different methodologies and the exact transfer of know-how for the policy evaluation community. These also serve the interests of European and national policy-makers in developing the frameworks of the next programming periods and of a common European evaluation culture.

In addition, the PROFEEDbooks enrich the literature of public policy, aiming to develop theory, knowledge, method and tool base of European evaluation policy as well as a common understanding of the current problems and challenges. PROFEEDbooks support the Action in reaching audience beyond the Action members The 5h PROFEEDBACK Conference delved into evaluating social policies across four key areas: social inclusion, social innovation, quality of life, and public health. It emphasized integrating disadvantaged groups into public services, innovative approaches to enhance working conditions, education, and community welfare, and the implications of digitalization. Discussions covered factors affecting quality of life, including the impact of COVID-19, and the success of various public health initiatives. Overall, the conference provided a comprehensive framework to guide future policies aimed at improving social welfare, inclusivity, and health outcomes for diverse communities.

PROFEEDbook 5.1 gathers abstracts and presentations as well as bios of the authors/speakers, to provide an overview of the Conference for a wider public.

PROFEEDbook 5.2 presents full articles related to a selected number of presentations, for a more detailed insight.

The conference has taken place in Bucharest, Romania on the 16th of May 2024.
