In this full-day conference, a distinguished list of speakers will present their novel insights into European politics and the needs and challenges of European social science research. We welcome social scientists from a variety of fields who share a common interest in understanding contemporary challenges to European societies and European Research Infrastructures. This full-day conference is the public part of a workshop designed to implement better research infrastructures for the study of political parties. It is part of the third-party funded research project HarDIS, financially supported by the European Union and the OSCARS project.
