SHARE-COVID19 Project - Final Dissemination Conference

Presenting final results and policy recommendations of the SHARE-COVID19 project

As the project term ended in June 2024, a final conference was held in Brussels on June 26th 2024 to present and discuss the final results and policy recommendations of the SHARE-COVID19 research project. The SHARE-COVID19 project was funded by the European Commission to better understand the non-intended consequences of the epidemic control decisions to contain the COVID-19 pandemic and to devise improved health, economic and social policies. 

In an opening speech, Andriana Sukova, Deputy Director-General - DG Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion, pointed out the importance of evidence-based policy recommendations in times of population aging. Her speech was followed by several presentations which gave an overview about the project and it’s achievements.

The core of the event were the presentations which focused on policy recommendations for healthcare, health, labor markets, adressing the inequality of income and wealth, social and intergenerational relationships as well as housing and living arrangements.

Furthermore, in a format of a policy roundtable chaired by Agnieszka Chłoń‐Domińczak, Acting Managing Director of SHARE-ERIC, the results and policy implications were discussed.

We would like to say thank you to everyone who directly or indirectly contributed to this project. The Final Dissemination Conference provided an important opportunity for an in-depth exchange between SHARE researchers and policy makers.
