As autoridades portuguesas responsáveis ??pela coordenação, gestão, acompanhamento e avaliação da ESF em Portugal estão envolvidas nos últimos anos em vários esforços para melhorar o conhecimento sobre o impacto das políticas relacionadas com a ESF. O projecto pretende contribuir para este esforço, reunindo os principais organismos públicos envolvidos no acompanhamento e avaliação da ESF em Portugal (IGFSE e Observatório do QREN), instituições públicas responsáveis ??pela formação profissional e programas de estágio e / ou correspondentes dados estatísticos (IEFP, GEP, IISS e DGEEC), bem como investigadores de duas universidades portuguesas (Universidade do Porto e ISCTE - Instituto Universitário de Lisboa) que participaram recentemente de esforços para desenvolver a avaliação contrafactual sobre o impacto das políticas financiadas pela ESF em Portugal. Espera-se que este projecto conduza a um conhecimento mais preciso e detalhado dos impactos da formação profissional e estágios em Portugal. Além disso, contribuirá para o desenvolvimento de conhecimentos relacionados aos métodos e práticas da CIE entre agências públicas, académicos e comunidade de avaliação em Portugal.

Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem) is a new approach to conceptualizing and measuring democracy. We provide a multidimensional and disaggregated dataset that reflects the complexity of the concept of democracy as a system of rule that goes beyond the simple presence of elections. The V-Dem project distinguishes between seven high-level principles of democracy: electoral, liberal, participatory, deliberative, egalitarian, majoritarian and consensual, and collects data to measure these principles.  It is a collaboration among more than 50 scholars worldwide which is co-hosted by the Department of Political Science at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden; and the Kellogg Institute at the University of Notre Dame, USA. With four Principal Investigators (PIs), fifteen Project Managers (PMs) with special responsibility for issue areas, more than thirty Regional Managers (RMs), 170 Country Coordinators (CCs), Research Assistants, and 2,500 Country Experts (CEs), the V-Dem project is one of the largest social science data collection projects focusing on research.

O Programa TEIP é uma iniciativa governamental, implementada atualmente em 137 agrupamentos de escolas/escolas não agrupadas que se localizam em territórios economica e socialmente desfavorecidos, marcados pela pobreza e exclusão social, onde a violência, a indisciplina, o abandono e o insucesso escolar mais se manifestam. São objetivos centrais do programa a prevenção e redução do abandono escolar precoce e do absentismo, a redução da indisciplina e a promoção do sucesso educativo de todos os alunos.

Psychosocial Risks prevention was identified as a key priority and the recognition of the significant changes in the work context contributed for emphasizing Emergent Psychosocial Risks - EPR (e.g., precarious contracts, ageing workforce, and family-work conflict) (EU-OSHA, 2007). The contextual factors and risk management practices critical for prevention have been evidenced in research and support the European policy and national strategies and obligations. However, ESENER survey reveal that these policies did not yet consolidate into generalized good practices (EU-OSHA, 2010, 2012). It is also acknowledged that social dialogue is a key factor for improving quality in work (EC, 2003), implementing participative solutions and empowering the stakeholders increase the success of the preventive actions. The accomplishment and positive outcomes of this involvement require that the stakeholders have opportunity to participate and that their perspectives are taking into account. The current societal and economic crises amplified the threats related to psychosocial risks. In this context SMEs are more vulnerable and also facing bigger challenges for initiating, maintaining and improve prevention initiatives. The present action intends to contribute for an efficient promotion of knowledge dissemination and offer an informative toolkit for preventive actions towards EPR that SMEs are facing, cross industry and cross sector.  This will be achieved using social dialogue with different formal stakeholders.  Action specific objectives are:  Map the SMEs knowledge about EPR; Identify best practices and main obstacles perceived by SMEs Stakeholders; organize a workshop with stakeholders to disseminate and debate knowledge, action plans and a tool kit; develop a tool kit that can be easily used by SMEs. The action targets SMEs in four European countries that are facing severe societal challenges due to the economic crisis (Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain).
