Community of Practice on Fairness

The JRC has launched a Community of Practice on Fairness.

About

The Community aims to foster an informed dialogue and knowledge sharing on the multidimensional aspects of fairness thereby bridging the gap between academics and policy makers; identify synergies and areas of collaboration together with policy Directorate-Generals; and generate new knowledge and anticipate trends. The Community regularly provides a discussion platform for exchange between stakeholders and representatives from civil society and academia.

A series of ONLINE WORKSHOPS on FAIRNESS

Organised by the JRC Science for Modelling, Monitoring and Evaluation Unit

Results from the 2022 Special Eurobarometer Fairness, inequality and inter-generational mobility show that fewer Europeans think that life is fair and that they have equal opportunities in life compared to 2017. These developments may be linked to growing gaps between different groups and raise important questions for policymakers and researchers. The Fairness Community of Practice will continue its series of events to foster and deepen the dialogue between policymakers and academic researchers on topics related to fairness that are becoming increasingly relevant. The events will be organised online.
