7. Framework Program 290647 „Welfare, Wealth and Work for Europe“, 2012 - 2016, researcher, https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/290647; The objective of this 4-year project was to provide the analytical basis for a socio-ecological transition in Europe: the change to a new growth path with smart, sustainable and inclusive growth as is envisaged in the EU 2020 strategy. In order to support the transition, we analysed the need, the feasibility and best practice for change, specifying the institutional changes needed at all policy levels to implement these options. 35 partners participated in the project wih overall budget exceeding 10 mil. EUR.

Grant VEGA 1/0716/19 „Policies evaluation beyond GDP: impact of unequal distribution of the socio-economic development determinants“, 2019-2022, principal investigator. The objective of the project is to examine the interrelationships between income inequalities and factors of social well-being in the EU and OECD member countries. Building on the current state of research, the project aims at empirical analysis of inequalities in income, education, health, safety and environmental burden. A wide range of well-being components can be captured comprehensively using DEA models. Theoretical and empirical results obtained in the form of synthetic indicators and benchmarks allow to draw implications for a wide range of policies.
