The aim of the pilot is to strengthen social services based on research. The network connects researchers in social work, social policy, education, health sciences, administrative sciences, management, law and communications to examine social services in a multidisciplinary way and from several perspectives.

The pilot will be implemented between 2025 and 2027 and the compilation of the work of 34 doctoral researchers will prepare doctoral researchers for multidisciplinary and multi-professional cooperation, producing an extensive research-based and practical competence base for the organisation and development of research-based social services.
