High-impact research on poverty and inequality at the heart of LISER’s mission
Today is the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. This means a lot to the LISER, as one of its core missions since its creation has been to conduct high-impact research to better understand and help reduce poverty and inequality.
A vibrant panel organised during LISER’s recent Society in Motion conference. The discussion explored how evidence-based research can guide better policymaking and featured Max Hahn (Luxembourg Minister), Charel Schmit (Ombudsman for Children and Young People), Francesco Corti (EU Commissioner Roxana Mînzatu’s cabinet) and Anne‑Catherine Guio (LISER).
The Award of the Academics Stand Against Poverty (ASAP) & Yale University Global Justice Program, for the Book of the Year The Escape from Poverty, co-authored by four international scholars, including two from LISER. The book discusses why and how to break the vicious cycles perpetuating disadvantage.
The (LIS)²ER workshop, jointly organised by LIS and LISER with a strong involvement of the World Bank. The event gathered internationally recognised academics to discuss issues related to poverty measurement and assessment of anti-poverty policy.
