Data-driven insights for EU youth policy: Make it Strong!

15 July 2026

Venue: Online

Webinar


This webinar explored how social science data curated by Infra4NextGen can be used to study policy relevant questions around the NextGenerationEU programme, and presented examples of communicating these research findings in a clear and accessible way.

Winners of the latest Infra4NextGen Datathon presented their work showing how data analysis can inform EU youth policy.

Focusing on the NextGenEU Make it Strong theme, questions like educational fairness, gender gaps in career paths, career opportunities for young people, multi-dimensional vulnerabilities and inter-generational inequality were covered.

After completing this webinar, participants will:

  • understand the intersection of data science, effective communication, and policy-making
  • have a better understanding of the Infra4NextGen data available
  • know examples of target-oriented communication of research findings
