Inequality Summer Institute 2004: European Network Events

European Network on Inequality (ENI) Events
Saturday, June 19, 2004


Inauguration of the European Network on Inequality... This year, with the formation of the Inequality Program's newly created European Network on Inequality (ENI), the Summer Institute brought together for the first time leading European scholars and US participants to generate new comparative insights, as well as cross-disciplinary perspectives, on problems of inequality and social policy. Representatives from each of the ENI's 13 partner institutions then gathered for an additional half day of meetings designed to showcase recent research of the Inequality Program's Ph.D. Fellows and to highlight current research efforts underway at each of the 13 ENI institutions.
