To further knowledge exchange between social science research and social policy practice, the NCCR LIVES is keen to collaborate with private and public partners. This includes mandates for basic data collection and analysis carried out by NCCR LIVES members. Also listed here are forums and roundtables aimed at bringing together researchers and specialists from the field to exchange knowledge and collaboratively develop innovative policy options to identify, reduce and prevent vulnerability during the life course.
