On November 3rd, the Federal Institute for Population Research (BiB) hosted the kick-off meeting of GGP-ACE – Activation, Consolidation, Expansion in Wiesbaden. It is a two-year Horizon Europe project that we are proud to coordinate, and it will take the Generations and Gender Programme (GGP) from preparation to full implementation as a European Research Infrastructure Consortium (GGP-ERIC). With demographic change high on Europe’s agenda, a stable and well-funded infrastructure matters more than ever.
Over the next 24 months, 17 partners from 17 countries will work together to:
🔹 Activate the governance, strategies and tools developed in the preparatory phase, with a centralised, FAIR and interoperable system for faster data release and better user support
🔹 Consolidate GGP’s legal, governance and financial framework to launch GGP-ERIC, with at least 8 founding members and long-term financial sustainability
🔹 Expand GGP to new countries and user communities, and deepen cooperation with other research infrastructures such as ESS, SHARE and GUIDE
Thank you to all partners: KNAW-NIDI (coordinator), INED, SGH Warsaw School of Economics, BiB, HDRI, Bocconi University, ÖAW, University of Zagreb (EFZG), Masaryk University, Tallinn University, Vytautas Magnus University, Statistics Norway, CSIC, Stockholm University, University of Lausanne, University of Southampton and the University of Latvia.
