are particularly pronounced at such intersections. Additionally, research will be focused on scrutinising student trajectories to formulate innovative and (empirically) efficient tools to tackle educational inequalities. FRA Roma Survey 2020 - TÁRKI contributes to the FRA Roma Survey 2020, being implemented in 2020-2021 in ten Eastern and Southern European countries (Croatia, Czechia, Greece, Hungary, Italy, North Macedonia, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Serbia), commissioned by the European Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA). The objective of the project is to conduct a comparative random probability face-to-face survey in ten European countries among the Roma population living in these countries. The purpose of the survey is to build on the latest FRA EU-MIDIS II survey and provide updated data about Roma inclusion in Europe. Another objective and one of the key challenges will be to contribute to and improve the survey instruments for sampling and surveying ‘hard-to-reach’ populations. UPLIFT - Urban Policy Innovation to address inequality with and for future generations (2020-2023) The UPLIFT consortium seeks to establish an innovative approach to urban policy design for reducing socio-economic inequalities. UPLIFT follows a multi-layer research method to map the processes and drivers of urban inequality in the post-crisis context. First, it uses macro level findings to contextualise micro level outcomes. It analyses the scale and dimensions of inequality in the EU, focusing on the national and regional (NUTS 2) scale. Second, it narrows down to sixteen functional urban areas looking at local inequality dimensions and drivers. On the third level come eight case studies, where micro-level analyses of vulnerability are carried out through the lens of youth (aged 15–29). On the fourth level UPLIFT co-creates reflexive policies with local stakeholders and communities. Study on the adequacy and sustainability of social protection system: attitudes in the EU (2019-2020) The overall purpose of the study was to collect and report policy-relevant evidence on preferences of the citizens for social protection. Moreover, the aim was that the evidence collected and presented by the study could be used to support the EU Member States in modernising their social protection systems. As well as informing them about perceptions in other countries, it should in addition help them to design policy answers which respond to the demand for social protection and redistribution. The study analyses the extent to which the idea of transnational and European solidarity is supported by people across the EU. EUROSHIP - Closing gaps in social citizenship. New
