Six ROSEnet European Policy Seminars were held in six different host regions, scheduled at six-month intervals between the opening and closing conferences. Five of these Seminars focused on different exclusion domains, with the sixth focusing on multidimensional old-age exclusion.
The Seminars were aimed at generating policy impact for the Action, and involved a public seminar for external researchers, policy makers and practitioners from the host region, and focused on dissemination and innovative responses to exclusion. Particular consideration was given to the Action objectives in relation to the host nation region (e.g. Eastern Europe).
