This document summarizes a presentation given at the 9th European Research Conference on Homelessness in Times of Crisis in Warsaw, Poland on September 19th, 2014. The presentation, given by Marja Elsinga from Delft University of Technology, examined changing housing systems in Europe, including differences in home ownership rates between countries and the effects of the housing crisis. Some key lessons discussed were that promoting universal home ownership is unrealistic, countries with strong mortgage market regulation fared better in the crisis, and governments should facilitate more stable housing systems through policies supporting both ownership and rental options.

The document summarizes a presentation given at a European research conference on homelessness. It discusses the numbers of homeless people in the Czech Republic, findings from a survey on commercial hostels in Ostrava, and research on coping tactics for families facing poverty. Over 11,000 people were found to be homeless in the Czech Republic in 2011. A survey of commercial hostels in Ostrava found they were unsuitable for long-term housing. Research identified common coping tactics among poor families, such as passive adaptation and using situations to their advantage. Overall, the presentation examined homelessness in the Czech Republic and discussed efforts to address it.
First Steps Towards Housing First. Possible Implementation of the Housing Fir...FEANTSA
The document summarizes the implementation of Housing First approaches in Hungary. It describes several pilot programs that provided housing and support services to homeless individuals. However, challenges included the short duration of projects, lack of stable income sources, and insufficient social benefits and affordable housing options. While the programs had successes in retaining housing for some participants, mainstream homelessness services and policies still primarily use a staircase model requiring preconditions before providing housing. Therefore, sustaining Housing First beyond individual pilot programs remains a challenge in the Hungarian context.
The Potential of Housing First in the Rural EnvironmentFEANTSA
Ruth Owen presented at the European Research Conference on implementing Housing First approaches in rural environments. Some key challenges to addressing homelessness in rural areas include limited homeless services due to low demand, scarce affordable housing supply, and inadequate transportation infrastructure. However, floating support services show promise in compensating for lack of residential services. With adaptations like increased use of telehealth, Housing First models have been successfully implemented in rural US communities and demonstrate cost savings over traditional approaches. Mobilizing vacant or agricultural property and engaging mainstream services are important strategies to overcoming rural homelessness.
From Crisis Accommodation to Permanent Housing?FEANTSA
This document summarizes a presentation given at a European research conference on housing first policies. It provides background on homelessness in Helsinki, Finland, including statistics on the number of homeless individuals and families. It then describes the services provided at Hietaniemenkatu, a service center in Helsinki that implements a housing first approach. This includes temporary housing, health services, and assistance obtaining permanent housing. Preliminary results of a case study on 109 individuals who stayed at the center found that while many obtained housing solutions initially, some later experienced increased support needs or a return to homelessness. The center plays an important role in connecting homeless individuals to appropriate housing and support services.
Ireland’s Housing Led Approach to Homelessness: The Way Home or a Path to Now...FEANTSA
This document summarizes a presentation given by Dr. Dáithí Downey at the European Research Conference on Housing First. The presentation discusses Ireland's shift to a housing-led approach to homelessness, including the establishment of a Housing First demonstration project in Dublin. It also examines the wider housing crisis in Ireland, how financialization and the property bubble contributed to the crisis, and the challenges currently facing the housing market and homeowners, including high rates of negative equity and mortgage arrears.
The document summarizes a presentation on a research study about youth pathways out of homelessness. The study uses a longitudinal design to interview 51 formerly homeless youth ages 21 in Canada. It develops a three-phase model of initial turning points, basic stability (housing and supports), and establishing identity and dealing with legal issues. Housing and material/emotional supports from family, friends, partners, and services are key to successful transitions out of homelessness. However, one year may not be long enough to fully understand the process, and ongoing supports are still needed.
The document summarizes a Housing First Guide for Europe produced by FEANTSA, the European Federation of National Organisations working with the Homeless. It was a 2-year project funded by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation. The Guide was created with an advisory board of European housing experts and is aimed at service providers and policymakers. It consists of 6 online units covering the principles and practice of Housing First in Europe. FEANTSA hopes the Guide will help spread knowledge of Housing First and support its implementation across the continent.

The need for data sharing in Rare disease researchPaola De Castro
1) The document discusses a summer school on rare disease and orphan drug registries held in Rome, Italy from September 26-28, 2016. It focuses on the importance of data sharing in rare disease research.
2) Data sharing provides key benefits like faster medical progress, better value for research money, and higher quality science. It is necessary for rare disease research given the small number of patients.
3) Effective communication and dissemination of research is also important. Guidelines encourage making publications and data "as open as possible, as closed as necessary" while balancing openness with ethical concerns.
Integrating Valuations, Markets and Policies for Biodiversity and Ecosystem S...Södertörn University
The INVALUABLE project aims to study how market-based instruments can help integrate biodiversity and ecosystem services into policies. It brings together experts from economics, law, and social sciences. The project's objectives are to clarify market-based instruments, analyze societal discourses around them, study their use in case studies of biodiversity offsets and payments for ecosystem services, and examine how scientific information influences policymaking. Preliminary results include developing a typology of market-based instruments and finding that payments for ecosystem services often involve negotiated agreements rather than true markets. The project will continue empirical case studies, cross-case comparisons, and stakeholder engagement.
Efforts to Promote Open Science in European Research LibrariesLIBER Europe

The document discusses open access to research publications and data in Horizon 2020, the European Union's research and innovation program from 2014-2020. Some key points:
- Horizon 2020 promotes both green open access self-archiving and gold open access publishing with costs covered by the publisher. It also encourages depositing underlying research data.
- A pilot project will test and monitor experiences with open access to research data across different disciplines to understand barriers.
- Guidelines provide information on open access requirements for publications and data management plans. Compliance will be a condition for funding in certain areas and disciplines.
- Issues around responsibilities, global collaboration, infrastructure, and the health sector are discussed in the context of open access and

Using research findings to inform policy and practice: the approach taken in ...Mike Blamires
The Adoption Research Initiative (ARI) was established to use research findings to inform adoption policy and practice in the UK. The ARI includes 7 large studies on topics like permanency planning and adoption support. Stakeholders from policy, practice, and service users have been engaged throughout the research process. Barriers to using research include lack of time, relevance, and skills to critically evaluate findings. The ARI aims to overcome these barriers through dissemination strategies like briefing papers, training, and conferences. Early research from the ARI on adoption costs has already informed policy discussions, and more impact will be evaluated over time.

What´s that thing called RRI? By Jacqueline Broerse RRI Tools
What´s that thing called RRI?

Director of the Athena Institute, VU University Amsterdam
RRI Tools Final Conference - Brussels, 21-22 November 2016
Opening Session
RRI Tools: main goals and outcomes
This document discusses responsible research and innovation (RRI). It defines RRI as aiming to ensure research and innovation outcomes are ethically acceptable and environmentally sustainable, contribute to solving societal challenges, and involve engaged publics and responsible actors and institutions. The document outlines some opportunities of RRI, including raising new questions, creating better innovations, and bringing science and society closer. It also discusses some needs to support RRI, such as clear definitions, evaluation tools, resources and case studies, training and dissemination, and funding for meetings. Finally, it presents some potential misconceptions about RRI, such as whether it is demanding of researchers or the end of "true" science.
The document proposes the creation of the European Science Education Academy (ESEA) to promote best practices in science education across Europe. The goals of ESEA are to 1) influence science teaching approaches, 2) document innovation in teacher professional development, 3) create an accessible repository of best practices, and 4) provide policy advice. ESEA will develop guidelines, identify resources, support communities of practice, and disseminate information to stakeholders including teachers, policymakers, and educational organizations. Initial funding from PATHWAY and other projects will support developing the conceptual framework, repository, and teacher training programs to improve science education.
