The Generations and Gender Programme entered a new era of its existence with the kick-off of the GGP5D project which took place end of October. This new project will lead the GGP onto an institutionalised pathway of European Research Infrastructure Consortia.
The main objective of the GGP-5D project is to enhance the GGP's long-term sustainability as a permanent research infrastructure (RI) by establishing its own legal entity. Within the GGP-5D project international collaborators will work on five dimensions: (1) Technical excellence (2) Scientific and socio-economic impact and engagement (3) Financial sustainability (4) Legal frameworks and (5) Positioning in the landscape of RIs.
At present the GGP is the only RI focused on addressing key scientific and societal challenges related to the causes and consequences of demographic changes. The efforts of the GGP-5D project will contribute to the quality of the European Research Area in the field of population studies and provide solid ground for further investment in the GGP.
