The Sustainable Welfare and Eco-Social Policy Network was kicked off at an online meeting in September 2022 and officially launched in the context of the Social Policy Biennale at the University of Bremen.

A Board of researchers has carried out the organization and promoted various activities that include bi-monthly Colloquium and Newsletters, a Mailing list with over 700 subscribers, the establishment of an Early-Career Researchers community, and of a dialogue with national and European stakeholders.

The Sustainable Welfare and Eco-Social Policy Network also serves as a coordination point for common conference streams and as a general “hub” for researchers working on sustainable welfare and eco-social topics.
