A national centre of competence in research to overcome vulnerability

The only National Centre of Competence in Research (NCCR) in the field of the social sciences among the eight selected in 2010, “LIVES – overcoming vulnerability: life course perspectives” began operations in January 2011. It studies the effects of the post-industrial economy and society on the development of situations of vulnerability using a longitudinal and comparative approach. NCCR LIVES aims to better understand the phenomenon of vulnerability as well as the means to overcome it so as to contribute to the emergence of innovative social policy measures.
