The ESF TransEurope Research Network is an interdisciplinary research network comprising scientific experts from 7 European countries in Political Science, Demography, Economics, and Sociology. Its main scientific focus is to conceptualise, operationalise, test, and compare the impact of transnational shifts on life course inequality across Europe. At the same time, the Programme seeks to bring together national experts and junior researchers within Europe and create the opportunity for them to collaborate on innovative and path-breaking research.
