WELCOME

The paramount objective of RECWOWE is to create a European research network capable of overcoming the fragmentation of existing research on questions of work and welfare in Europe.

The aim is to promote the research excellence required in identifying and understanding the multiple tensions between work and welfare, as well as strategies for managing or resolving them.
