Research Project Let's care

Project Duration: 04/01/2024 - 10/01/2027

Objective 1: To offer a new, in-depth, and reflective understanding of LTC challenges across national and local contexts for stakeholders and policymakers. Four common challenges��care affordability and accessibility, quality of care, quality of care work, and financial sustainability��affect European LTC systems (EC 2021b). However, there is currently a lack of systematic and comprehensive knowledge about how these challenges manifest in different national and local contexts.

Objective 2: To provide a novel understanding of ��integrative�� and ��innovative�� practices and their potential to address the challenges of care accessibility and quality, care work quality, and sustainability.

Objective 3: To pioneer a novel policy-learning framework. After delineating the diverse LTC challenges across national and regional contexts and scrutinising the underlying tensions and choices in integrative and innovative practices, LeTs-Care will tackle the pivotal aspect of policy learning. This initiative transcends the conventional ��best practice�� approach, aiming for a ��meaningful practice�� paradigm shift. This shift aligns with the objectives of the EU Care Strategy, contributing to its realisation.
