INVEST
INVEST Research Flagship Centre provides a new model for the welfare states that is more equal, better targeted to problem groups, more anticipatory as well as economically and socially sustainable.
Based on cutting-edge research on the conditions and mechanisms involved at different periods of development, INVEST has evaluated and developed various universal and targeted interventions to improve the efficiency of the current welfare state institutions at critical points of the early life course.
