The 2nd ImPRovE conference will scrutinise the impact of policies on poverty and inequality during the Lisbon era and the recent economic crisis to draw lessons for the future. Particular attention will be paid to the countries hit hardest by the crisis, and European Members of Parliament will be asked to reflect on how the Europe 2020 targets can be reached.

The conference will build on results of the EU funded project ImPRovE. Preceding the conference, two workshops will be organised on social innovation and on reference budgets.

Participation is free, but registration on the conference website is required.
