✨ NO more uncertainty, no more question marks — the word is out! 🚀 From 1 January 2026, one of Europe's largest and most influential networks in socio-economics will find its new home at Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research (LISER) - at the heart of Luxembourg’s research ecosystem, and right at the heart of Europe. 🇪🇺 This network unites more than 2,000 top scholars from all over the world to enrich debates and inspire action on the most pressing challenges facing our economies, markets, and societies. 🙏 This milestone has only been made possible thanks to the vibrant, dynamic and talented LISER research community. I am deeply proud of our creative and innovative researchers, whose work and commitment paved the way for this tremendous milestone. 👏 Looking ahead, I am super-excited about the opportunity to expand the network both geographically and in terms of disciplines, while increasing its societal value and policy relevance ! Together, we will safeguard IZA’s flagship programmes and amplify their global reach, keeping rigorous, open and impactful science at the forefront of scientific and public debate. #SocioEconomics #ResearchImpact #GlobalNetwork #PolicyRelevantResearch #EvidenceBasedPolicy #LuxembourgResearch #Innovation #ScienceForSociety #SustainableSocieties #Europe Mark Fallak Olga Nottmeyer Pierre Cahuc Frederic Docquier Christina Gathmann Eugenio Peluso Martin Dijst Olivia D.
